State Minimum Course Requirements

My oldest will be in 7th grade next year. She is really wanting to get a leg up on college and finishing up her general so she can jump into her nursing program. So we are starting the search to ensure she gets a great leg up. There are a few online high schools that she can start:
Acellus Academy
Penn Foster X
James Madison High School
American School of Correspondence
A couple of these actually look very promising but we'll have to see as we go!
