My child says the same thing. Personally, I wonder if being at home school would have been better for college acceptances though.

What are the college acceptances like?

There seem to be many kids getting into UMd CS which is not easy. My child tells me there are a few kids getting into Ivy but also many rejections+deferrals. The next level down below Ivy (i.e. Northeastern) has been pretty brutal too. These are kids with near-perfect test scores, 4.0s, and impressive activities. It's probably easier to stand out at home school.

The kids do have to complete against each other for colleges. Only so many can get in to MIT from the same school. I do not think that should stop anyone from going though...the top level colleges are very difficult for anyone to get in to.
