I dropped out of high school at 15 and moved out at 16. Currently 21 and running https://hackclub.com https://hackclub.com. I know that when I was in his shoes, I felt like I tried everything to find meaning (community college classes, reading books, learning new subjects, etc), but it took me literally moving out and into a group house in San Francisco to find a community of other people like me (see https://stories.californiasunday.com/2015-06-07/real-teenagers-silicon-valley/ https://stories.californiasunday.com/2015-06-07/real-teenage... for my story). I think it's all about finding like-minded peers that push you. If he's into computer science, perhaps there are hackathons near him? Or maybe he'd get value out of our Slack (https://slack.hackclub.com https://slack.hackclub.com)? We have a lot of students like him in our community. We put together https://hackathons.hackclub.com https://hackathons.hackclub.com to aggregate high school hackathons and https://mlh.io/seasons/na-2019/events https://mlh.io/seasons/na-2019/events is the best resource for college hackathons if it's helpful.
