You need to consider this option carefully. After highschool graduation, any courses taken at a community college will be considered as post secondary credits. Take too many and your child would no longer be eligible to apply to a 4 year university as a freshman. He/she would be a transfer student which generally means fewer seats and fewer scholarship opportunities.
FWIW, my eldest has skipped two grades (and is at a new school), and socializing with classmates isn't super-easy for him right now (this is a kid with very good social skills). We've made it clear to him that delaying college will fix this problem. I hope that works for your son but I don't think that is necessarily true.
I second both of these comments.
