The percentages that you are showing do not add up to 100%. Presumably there are another group of students who have less than a 3.0. If I just did the math right in my head, there are another 18% with less than a 3.0. If we assume that your son is just in the exact middle of the 3.5-3.99 range, then there might be something like 55% of the class ahead of him. However, if he starts doing the extra work now, he might move up a bit.

Colleges and universities will look at your son’s actual grades, as well as other factors such as recommendations.

I agree with talking to your school’s academic counselors. There should be plenty of universities and colleges that make sense for your son. I would be surprised if anything in the top 50 was appropriate, but there are hundreds of very good colleges and universities in the US (and more elsewhere).

What sort of high school is your son studying at?
