I think if he doesn’t mention it, the schools may assume he just gets bad grades every other year. My son had a bad soph (and not so great frosh) year and explained in his essays what happened to change his achievement from a blah GPA to straight A’s junior year. The high test scores and strong upward trend will help your son.
