I understand you're frustrated, and it sounds like your son is doing some excellent work in high school...but you do realize there are a bunch of people on this site (myself included) who had these same numbers, with the same (or more) activities, without any sort of guarantee of getting into an in-state school?
I mean, maybe it's not the optimum situation; but really, this stuff happens all the time in the college admission process. Alums get preference, in-state people get preference over out-of-state people, etc.
