Juggling high school and college at the same time is becoming a tradition in the Roberts family. When school started in August, 16-year-old, Summer Roberts returned to North Florida Community College while also attending Madison County High School. Summer joins more than 420 students at North Florida Community College working on a high school diploma at the same time as earning college credits. In the past several years, Florida’s dual enrollment numbers have exploded. In 2017-18, approximately 70,000 students enrolled at one of the state’s 28 public colleges according to newly released data from the Florida College System. That is a 30-percent surge over 2014-15 numbers.
