[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's learn more about the 3.1 gpa? What math will he end with? How many years of foreign language? Is the 3.1 weighted or unweighted? It's not that hard to graduate high school and go to a 4 year college, somewhere.  And graduate. I agree test optional may be needed.[/quote]

He will graduate with geometry/trig. He's currently in algebra 2. He won't have physics and will only have 2 years of a foreign language. Not sure if that's his weighted or unweighted, but he's only taken 2 honors classes in the 3 years and won't be taking any next year. He doesn't challenge himself and can barely get Bs and Cs in his standard classes because he doesn't turn things in and doesn't care. He is very much interested in a 4 year, but at this point we don't want to waste his time and our money supporting one if he isn't ready. We value all of the life skills and experience you get at a 4 year, but at this point if he doesn't turn things around and start working towards his goals, we're not supporting a free ride for him to backslide and fail in the first year.

Have you talked to his counselor? I’m not  trying to be mean or discourage you, but his profile points to community college (and I never say this).

He lacks basic rigor and his GPA should be much better for the classes he is taking. Not to mention that colleges are looking for increased rigor as students hit senior year. It is red flag that his rigor has decreased.

DO NOT waste his time on SAT prep. You need to fix the GPA and rigor. [/quote]
