Don't take a few community college classes if you plan to go to college afterwards.

Even one community college class taken after high school graduation qualifies your kid as a transfer, which is a different admissions process. Elite schools are much less likely to take a transfer than a similar kid who is applying as a first time freshman, and most schools have far less financial aid for transfers, except possibly for transfers with AA's

If you're accepted and deferred you need to sign something stating that you won't take credit classes during that year.

Look for small private schools where he will get a lot of attention. You could even look at college's which have programs for high school students to enroll for accelerated graduation. That way your Aon may have a younger emotional peer group.

OP here. Thx so mych for recommendation for Landmark. Also was the part time progression a formal arrangement where your dd took a reduced course lload?

If your child has filed the proper testing and paperwork with the Offiice of Disability Services at his selected college or university, one of the accommodations which our DS used all five years (yes, he was a five year one) was a reduced course load. It made a huge difference.
