[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised no one has suggested community college yet. It could be a much better value for this type of student than spending the $$ to go to a private or OOS school where he might struggle to keep up.[/quote]

That is what I would do.  It's reality, the kid likely needs extra guidance and ability to not have tons of changes in their life.  2 years at CC, while living at home, maybe 3 if they would do better with less classes and working PT while in college

This is true.  From the interwebs:

The specific benchmarks are:
English: A score of 18, linked to success in English Composition.
Mathematics: A score of 22, linked to success in College Algebra.
Reading: A score of 22, linked to success in Social Sciences courses.
Science: A score of 23, linked to success in Biology.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics): A score of 26, based on performance in first-year math and science courses for STEM majors.
ELA (English Language Arts): A score of 20, based on performance in English Composition and social science courses.

So a 20 for non-STEM and a 26 for STEM on average to be successful.[/quote]
