34 ACT with a low GPA (3.5 weighted). What should my sophomore son do?

@homerdog I wish my son’s high school would give him a calendar month to month of the assignments and exams. Right now he gets the information week to week (or less). With a month’s notice, the student can do some time management and planning…

I tell my son all the time there’s always a silver lining on every gray cloud, and no matter what happens, he’s learning a lot through this experience. There are definitely worse schools in the area, it’s not all bad, it’s disappointing the teacher morale is so low, but the district is taking steps in the right direction.

Reading all of these posts has given me confidence that it will work out for him, somehow, someway. I really like the post about applying to college early, I think I’m going to have my son send out a few applications this fall, especially to California schools who understand what passing the CHSPE entails. At the very minimum, it will give him some practice if he decides to stay in high school as a senior and applies again…
