My DS was expelled from his private Catholic HS this past Spring, He was a HS junior with good test scores and grades, and we ended up transferring him to our local public school, where he continued to earn a 4.3 GPA, and passed all four of his AP exams (with scores of 4 and 5s). He was expelled from the private school for calling a friend (and cross country teammate) an inappropriate nickname with racial undertones. (Both my son and the other boy are white). My son did have a previous suspension for getting in a fight during a hockey game during his sophomore year, and was on "probation" for that. Hence, the expulsion.
My question is this: does he have any prayer for being accepted into a decent 4-year university? Or, does he need to just plan to attend the local community college for a couple of years until he can eliminate the HS transcript requirement? (Yes, I do feel like a failure as a parent, and he feels like a failure as a student, so please limit your remarks to constructive suggestions.)
