Make a bad situation into a good one. You are most likely more mature and experienced than your 9th grade peers. Use that to your advantage. Take college courses and get ahead. Try to take the AP and honors courses that most 10th and 11th graders are taking. Learn from the mistakes that 10th and 11th graders you know made and learn from them. They can only help you do well in high school and make you a better person. If you play a sport, you might be the strongest or the most experienced one on the team due to your age. I'm 16 and in the 11th grade and let me tell you there is not a lot to look forward to(SAT's, AP Exams SAT II's, pressure of junior year in general) Enjoy your time in high school while you still can because high school is a once in a lifetime experience and it can help you become a more mature person than you probably are already so when you do graduate, you will be ready to take on college and life. Don't worry about skipping grades because in the end, no one is going to care when you graduated from high school or college. What really matters is who you are as a person and what you can contribute to society.

It's going to be tough. High school isn't like college where you can cram as much of it in as possible.
At this point you'll need all of your electives to graduate. Meaning, you have to take 4 years of English, 2-3 of Math, 2-3 of Science, etc to graduate.
Talk to your counselor. Although don't be surprised if there's no way this is possible.

Talk to your teachers about taking on extra assignments to increase you current grades and show initiative. Talk to your guidence counselor about testing out of some classes and taking extra classes or doing an independent study to graduate on time.

My advice is don't move up.
Enjoy the high school experience; you're only rushing to work a 40-60 hour work week.

Study! If you study, you make passing grades. If you make passing grades, you're promoted to the next grade level. It really is that simple!

You'd have to talk to the administration and they could test you to see if you were ready to move up to another grade.
