If the OP son is choosing to go to an engineering high school, then he should take engineering classes. This is a great opportunity if the student is interested in engineering to see if this is something they might want to pursue. Otherwise he should choose to go to a different college prep high school. Our engineering high school had almost the same college prep. classes as the other high schools, except they did not offer fine art classes (band, art etc.) and tended to have more male students. Two of my sons chose to go to the engineering school. My middle son wanted to be part of band, wanted art classes so he chose to go to the “regular” high school. All three excelled at school (two were NMFs) and received full-tuition college scholarships. There is nothing wrong with pursuing interests as early as high school if a student wants to do this and has the opportunity.
