It depends on the school. A lot of schools' CS curricula are really just a series of classes designed to teach you how to be a reasonably effective programmer; I would avoid these, because it sounds like you are already an effective programmer so you will not gain much. On the other hand, there are schools were CS is challenging and where just being a good programmer won't help -- and someone like you may actually find that the courses are interesting.

My programming skills are pretty solid, I'm happy to sit down and write code for hours on end but as for the theory side I am probably below the par in terms of the other students.
