Does it make more sense for kids to be held back from going to college earlier so they can get more state paid college credits?

Kids are getting high school credits in pur gifted elementary. Maybe a DYS child would be able get thru Highschool in 3 years and go to college early. They might be better off taking advantage of the paid college opportunity.

My oldest is going into 6th, and hit the ceiling on the Explore. I'm thinking a bit ahead. This is all new to me.
