I'm not OP, but I'm confused by this edit. Are you seeing that OP is indicating they aren't an American/in the American academic system? I'm not seeing that anywhere. I agree with what you said and even see pathways OP can take, but if they aren't in the American academic system, then my advice wouldn't be helpful either.
I'm not the person you replied to, but I've never heard of CC as covering exclusively HS content. I'd guess that's where the confusion is coming from?
I think you've given me the missing piece of info. OP is still in High School.
This statement suggested to me OP had already graduated High School but graduated with lower scores:
"When I tried CC..."
The CC classes aren't called HS material, but the biology class I tried absolutely overlapped with the high school material. I could have probably dropped out as a high school freshman, got a GED and started with CC from there. I probably would have been able to negotiate with transferring as a freshman if my CC years were before I was an adult.
This isn't any less true of a "real" college's Bio 101. They don't know what you actually covered (or retained) from HS, so intro classes almost always cover the same material for part of the class. That is in no way unique to (or weird of) Community Colleges.
I'm just not familiar with any system where community college courses can boost a highschool GPA. I may just be misunderstanding the post though
I don't think they're still in HS, but are between HS and college and hasn't been able to get accepted to a traditional college. The CC is a stepping stone
I could be wrong, of course, but that's how I read it 🤷♂️
