Wait to spend money on guide books. Check out various ones from your public library and then decide which one(s) are worth owning- either for you or your son.

No wonder he has no interest- he is just approaching the halfway mark in HS! A lot will change in the coming months and years. He’s immersed in his HS world now- let him enjoy it without pushing the future beyond it for now. Six or more months from now he can start looking. That will be junior year.

I agree with exposing him to several college campuses of various types for now. Seeing small/large, urban/suburban/rural, elite/average, public/private campuses during casual drives and walking some will show him similarities and differences in the physical environment. That will make it easier to differentiate the ones he sees with potential. He will learn what is the norm, desirable et al before focusing on the educational aspects.
