Thank you aeh and Quantum2003! I appreciate your feedback very much!

I want DS10 to be middle of the pack. If he's getting straight A's I suspect his perfectionism, anxiety, and smug attitude will return.

The middle/high school is rated low for college readiness. Students who go to college are mostly going to the local community college. That's the plan for DS10 anyway - to get his AA done at the community college and then transfer into one of the state universities.
