Okay, let's say I achieve LPR status and enter the United States in December. I will be there for two/three weeks at a residence owned by my parent and step-parent. Afterwards, I have to go back to Canada to finish high school. So that means leaving the country sometime around the first week of January. After graduation, I will make the final move, which should be more than 5 months but less than 6 months(and of course there will be a few visits to this residence in between those 5 months). When I make the final move, I will begin residing in a different state for college purposes. So, the question is, will this break my continuous residence? I think it won't because I will have spent less than 6 months outside of the United States.

This should not be a problem.

Are you under 18, and will you still be under 18 when you expect to enter the US in LPR status? Is your parent (the one with whom you'll reside with when in the US) a US citizen?
If yes to both, you may be eligible to derive citizenship before your 18th birthday, which would make the continuous residence issue moot.

I am 17 and will be 17 when I expect to enter as an LPR. However, I cannot derive citizenship because the citizen parent is a step-parent that hasn't adopted me.

It is obvious that you have done your homework on these issues. You are correct. No need to worry about nothing.
