Whats the word with this kid now ?
He scored an 1800 on the SAT. If it's posted correctly, he should surely be eligible. The average composite ACT score is an 18 (he scored a 17 and needed an 18). The average SAT score is a 1500. He scored well above that. I'm assuming this means he only needs to keep his grades up, and I doubt any teacher would be evil enough to ruin this kid's future if he's at least putting in the effort.
The SAT is comprised of three 800 point sections which include Reading, writing, and math/science/etc. The writing section tends to be the easiest section. Even if he made a perfect score on the writing section (800), with a score of 1800 that would mean he made a 1000 on the combined remaining 2 sections... he only needed an 890 SAT score to qualify... IF he got an 1800, that means his worst possible Reading/Math and Science score is a 1000... thus he has 100% completed and made the entrance exam grades.
Now, IF he ends the semester with at least all B's (which is not hard to do last semester of Sr. Year... usually you take easy classes) then he is 100%
