[quote=Anonymous]This is OP, so yes its a Catholic school and the initial course assignments were a little more in the air since he requested certain classes but they weren't assigned/approved until close to the start of freshman year. So he expected to be starting in honors and a level up in math but they suggested he work his way in at grade level. I listened and did not do sufficient HW at that point which I am really kicking myself for. So now moving up is hard and the teachers (at least say) they can't override the grade.

As far as the actual work, what he is learning and study skills - that's all positive. His homework skills are great but his study skills where there isn't tangible work to hand in are not great. A school like this will definitely help him learn what is needed and that is a good thing for him for sure. I will add that he wants to stay at the school because he thinks he will get great grades next year (which won't happen unless he ups his study game) but if he knew that he wouldn't get into honors/AP he would want to switch.
