Could have been Valedictorian if he'd put his mind to it if he'd tried, but why bother was his attitude.

You don't think ****ty schools have smart kids? Your kids will gravitate to whatever they are inclined to gravitate to, they can find trouble or genius at any school.
High school did nothing for your son from what I read above. Maybe there's more than I can read into what you wrote.
I edited out the sports stuff, I still don't see how the school helped him.
Unless you place your kid in a specialized school for some advanced super-human skill they might have, I see no need to worry about a high school, provided they are safe. As parents you have far more influence than the school. Or you should.
