Desperate to get into a somewhat elite boarding school, is it too late?

Cannot thank you guys enough for your advice. Like @applejuice007 mentioned, I understand that there’s a very small chance that any of you guys are admissions officers or anything, and can only provide whatever information you know from experience. However, you guys certainly did help to clarify what my goals should be. It sounds as though repeating Sophomore year is my best bet, and I will probably be sticking to my current school, although, it couldn’t hurt to give some schools a shot next year. To end it off, I have one more inquiry. Nobody mentioned my racial background, would this not be considered a hook? I’m only one-fourth, but I hear that I can still consider myself to be multi-ethnic, which may look appealing to admissions officers.
