Eh. At least where I went to high school, there was always one or two kids who graduated with a few years of college under their belts every year. I myself started college as a sophomore, mostly from taking city college classes and AP tests.

Keep in mind that this was a pretty big public school, and it wasn't a "magnet" school.
