Well, back in MY day, high school was 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. We really only had to take 6, 5 and then 4 hours to have enough credits to graduate so a lot of people did that. I did take 5 hours my senior year because I wanted to take another year of Spanish. We could take up to 6, but how many kids, if given a choice of going home at 1 pm or 3 pm would choose to go home at 3 pm? I was an oddball for having 5 hours my senior year.
I didn't particularly like high school... although I was very active. Candy Striping, Spanish Club, Honor Society and working about 20 hours a week. (I was also a Girl Scout but didn't admit that to many people!)
Also, once we turned 18, during our senior year, we could call ourselves in sick. That was an amazing thing at the time! Smoking was also allowed once you turned 18, in the designated smoking courtyards. Yes, times have changed a lot.
