<p>Both of my kids attend (or attended) a performing arts magnet. There was no room in the curriculum for the 3rd or 4th year of a language. Fortunately, both of them also took a foreign language in junior high. Older D had no admission issues from any university (top tier but not Ivy) for theatre. It probably depends on what you intend to study in college. I would take a look at the colleges that your son intends to apply to - also, you can explain the foreign language issue on the college application.</p>
