Let me be the first to suggest that this kid is wasting his time in high school.
We have been discussing ways to fast track kids through high school to avoid the liberal agenda and other idiocies:

Unfortunately my thread title was not well thought out, because some parents might instinctively skip over it due to attached stigma, whether real or imagined.
"Let me be the first to suggest that this kid is wasting his time in high school. "
When I entered University I took an intensive first year mathematics progrom of first and second year courses becuase I had a high second class average in high school
In my second year linear class I struggled in the first two months of the fall semester and then one day this guy showed up in class who I hadn't seen before.
Turns out he was a math genius and the son of a mining engineer from Trail BC who had attented advanced mathematics camps since he was 13.
He showed up one day because he had an interesting proof he wanted to show the prof. When he was finished baffling the prof with his proof he left. Everyone in the class was slack jawed.
That day was the end of my mathematics career.
Later I found out he got bored with mathematics and joined the theater department.
