[quote=Anonymous]A lot of this depends on the high school and course load.

In general, however, kids coming from Catholic high schools will do better than you expect when they apply to Catholic colleges.

And boys will do better than you expect when they apply to liberal arts colleges, since most of them have way more female applicants.

I would definitely take exam prep and I would have him try both the SAT and the ACT, to see if he does much better in one. My ADD son got a 30 on the ACT and only about 1,000 on the SAT so yes, there can be a huge difference.

Some schools to consider: 
Catholic (these might be more reaches): Catholic U, Fordham, College of the Holy Cross 
Good financial aid (some of these are reaches): Washington and Lee, Union, Franklin & Marshall, Connecticut, 
Other LACs: Skidmore, Gettysburg, University of the South, College of Wooster, St Olaf
Other big schools that are probably less reachy: Towson, George Mason, Florida State, Indiana Univ, Univ of Arizona
