Definitely check on something wrong. I assume that gpa is his old one and that it is not a drop from being an A student. If he did do the A to B drop it won’t trigger alarm from the school but you are right in feeling something is wrong. My gifted kid was bored and did not do the work needed to get the A’s he could have, especially as a senior. A regular good college candidate can also be bored. The cause could include depression- that family physician talk with and without you is a great start. If your son is just bored (without medical mental health issues) he needs to realize he needs to keep learning the material to be successful in college.

Please let us know what happens. I understand being frustrated- teens often refuse to do what we know is best.
