His former school does not allow "testing out" of anything, ever. He doesn't qualify for an IEP, and he is no longer a minor, which makes things more difficult.

There is a state-wide free online public school here, which he can start in the fall. My nephew just got his diploma via correspondence courses in Utah, and it was easier and quicker than the online school sounds. Which is what got him interested in the idea.
I am not fighting you...just throwing out some other ideas. I believe, here in Cincinnati (and it might be state wide) that the local public school *must* accept a 19 year old as a student. And, if that is so, why can't he be home schooled til he acquires a degree?

According to the Wyoming Constitution, it is 21 years of age:

Wyo. Const. Art. 7, § 9

The legislature shall make such further provision by taxation or otherwise, as with the income arising from the general school fund will create and maintain a thorough and efficient system of public schools, adequate to the proper instruction of all youth of the state, between the ages of six and twenty-one years, free of charge; and in view of such provision so made, the legislature shall require that every child of sufficient physical and mental ability shall attend a public school during the period between six and eighteen years for a time equivalent to three years, unless educated by other means.

Is the local public school pushing back? I recognize he doesn't WANT to attend the public high school...but free education, that we can presume is 'legit', for less than a years worth of credit? Otherwise, if the state has to provide schooling for him, can't he be home schooled???
