I took a closer look at PFHS and there are no good options for highly portable ACE credits. There are a few PF college courses https://www.pennfoster.edu/high-school/a...ly-college and you can bring in high GED scores as well. So only the less portable ACE credits are doable. I would have preferred CLEP/MS, especially for someone who might end up at a traditional school. On the good side, PFHS is easy and fast as long as she doesn't run afoul of the 10-15 exams per week limit for academic integrity purposes. So there should be plenty of time after graduation to explore many educational options prior to age 18 at a leisurely pace and do CLEP/MS as the default cheap option.

Currently, it is possible to get the GED and earn up to 10 college credits in the process. I know you're worried about stigma, but I think that's splitting hairs. The big picture is that he graduates in some way from somewhere that allows him to enroll in a RA college program should he choose to do so. All 3 of the options in front of you accomplish that goal. (GED, homeschool diploma, Penn Foster diploma)

WV is not a super easy state to homeschool, I would put that at the bottom of the pile based on your assessment of the parent.
