At some point that goes away. Your future educational history eclipses and sort of "hides" all that.

I got a GED in 1991, in lieu of traditional high school graduation. I'd been in foster care. Once I'd been in college, the pre-college educational history no longer matters.

Since I finished my degree in 2013 (finally!) that I'd started in 1991… anything before it is irrelevant. There may be an outlier company where this doesn't apply, but I feel like that's the exception and not the rule.
