Feelings of South
I don't really understand why MC doesn't just test out of high school and pull some strings to complete an accelerated degree program at a prestigious university. She seems to have the resources...as for her friend, she would probably have been fine with going to school alone if MC straight out told her that she's a genius and attending school would only be a huge waste of time and extremely bothersome. This plot seems kinda forced in this sense...just setting up the pretense of making MC appear useless in order to face slap everyone as the story reaches the climax.
