If graduating early means a worse plan afterward (say, community college instead of a good school), I would stay. Otherwise, graduate early and go to college or take a year off. Life is too short to waste in high school. I graduated college a year early from college and wish I had graduated high school early instead. Maybe another way to view it is: if you knew you were going to die in seven years, would you rather spend four years in high school and three in college or the other way around?
