My school had this, a "trade school" that was basically day care for the kids who didn't care. Problem is they had a 10-1 student-teacher ratio while the handful of AP classes the regular high school offered were closer to 50-1.
The U.S. has this, many high schools have trade programs. You're still "technically" in school you spend your junior and senior year at a trade school and often working / making money (some as early as sophomore year)
Unfortunately, this is only true for places with trade schools nearby. I grew up outside of Chicago and every school had this option.
