High School Teachers: How many credits are required to graduate and how many credits are possible each year of school?

You have probably seen me write about how I want children to be able to take a fast track out of high school if they desire. Basically getting through high school in 3 or 31/2 years if they so desire. When I went to school you could easily rack up enough credits to graduate early, but they were reluctant to let you do it, or even let you know it could be done.

I was wondering if it is still possible, purely from a credit standpoint, without having to take summer school.

I think some kids who might otherwise drop out or be miserable would get more focused and do better if they saw the light at the end of the tunnel. That is how it worked for me. I had my best term my last year, knowing I would be finished with high schol early. My mom and dad both fast tracked though high school.
