With my daughter, in high school freshman/sophomore year the problem was she needed to take junior and senior courses but they wouldn't let her because of prerequisites. She lost interest in school and started misbehaving. She finally demanded to drop out, and we said no way unless she got a GED first. She was too young to get a GED, but we travelled to the state capitol and petitioned the state superintendent of education for permission. She took the GED and scored well enough to get into college. Subsequently she got a degree and became a teacher. She can control 40 kids at once, which is beyond my understanding. I couldn't even control one (her).

Watch out your son doesn't get so advanced he becomes bored with the school curriculum. Those concepts are way over what I learned in gradeschool in the 50s.
