If school starts at 7:30 and you live an hour away with school morning traffic, you’d have to get up at 6am at the latest. Given the need for 8-10 hours of sleep (particularly for highly active athletes who need the extra sleep for muscle recovery), you’d need to go to sleep between 8pm and 10pm. My understanding is that its very difficult for teenagers to go to sleep before 10 for biological reasons, so only a teen with monk like discipline could get the bare minimum (and even then that might not be enough depending on their exercise regimen). So yeah it’s technically not “impossible”, but it’s very difficult, and it seems to me without good reason.
