[quote=Anonymous]Trying to assist my soon to be 18 year old nephew. He's an 11th grader at a DCPS and does NOT want to go to school next year. Though he desperately wants his HS diploma, he's now coming to realize that no amount of maneuvering will see him graduating this year (night/summer school not a viable option).

If he decides to get his GED, what are his school options? Community college only? He's a high C/low B student when motivated (he repeated grades in elementary school). My sister is also low-income, so financial aid is a consideration. I will spring to get him a tutor to take his SATs.

Any advice? Really trying to help him stay on a straight path and while I'd prefer he get his high school diploma, a GED is not the end of the world if you plan to pursue higher education.

Also, if a university is not an option, what community colleges (if any) in the area have school housing?

*Would like to avoid DC universities/school and have him go at least 1.5 hours away to get away from his home life. [/quote]
