The academic pressure cooker schools are not a good fit for a kid who struggles with organization unfortunately.


I second this.


I have to strongly disagree. Not a good place for a social kid and the commute would be a killer.

I think your son need help. You also need to discipline him. It sounds like he get away with stuff. Get a tutor and help him sit down and learn. You will be surprised that he is a top student. Then you can apply to private as private rejects student with behavioral issues. Let him visit many schools and choose which one he likes. Pay C2 to help him get it together.
