Graduating in 5 years is MUCH better than dropping or flunking out. Graduating high school is graduating high school. You might not get into Harvard, but it will have no bearing on your getting an entry level job requiring only a high school education. Don't worry about it.

Tell them the truth -- the last thing you want is to get found out misrepresenting anything on a job application. Besides, I don't think it will look bad. I assume you graduated from that school? If so, that is what counts that you left with a diploma, not how long it took.
