After the 9th grade, it is impossible to enroll in a bachelor's degree at a college in US— you will miss at least 3 years of schooling. In the United States, there is no concept of "Certificate of incomplete secondary education" There are colleges, but they are also considered a higher educational institution, they simply provide applied professions.
Only a few types of students can get there:
- Those who could not pass the final exams at school, but unlearned the full 12 years
- Those who passed the exams and cannot afford to study at the university
- Those who dropped out of high school.
You will not find a single rating college, because the specialties that are given there are of an applied nature. These are mainly medical assistants, small-level managers, locksmiths, artists. After receiving a college diploma of a completed bachelor's degree, a person can no longer go to a master's degree at a prestigious university, since he will first have to complete another bachelor's degree.
Therefore, it will not be possible in the United States to curtail schooling without losing opportunities to find high-paying jobs in the future.
