My take is by 8th grade my parents were sink or swim so frick you kid. They did the opposite with my sis and she ended up being a 2.5 college kid.

60th percentile? Yeah, something is wrong
Take him to an educational testing place. I went to LSUS. I thought my son had a learning disability in elementary but they said he was just ADD

don't know ... seen plenty of kids bored with school ... at all levels ... sounds like you know the problem ... he's plenty capable but just jacking off in school or at home ...
honestly don't know the solution ... you could whip his arse till the cows come home and it probably wouldn't do any good ... other than trying home schooling or telling your state rep to support school vouchers (which would do no good, but would feel good), you're gonna battle this all the way through college ...
my advice is to let it ride ... teach him as much about government/economics/history/english/science as you can on the side and just accept it for now ... crappy advice, no doubt ...

Scores 60th percentile on private school standardized tests.
Well that illuminates a lot.
When standardized test scores go in line with grades you have to start to wonder if you are in denial of intelligence.
If he is smart and it really is just a lack of motivation, give him a summer job somewhere of back breaking morning to dusk work in LA heat to give him a taste of the lifestyle of most who can't go to college.
If he still doesn't care, then at least he knows what he is getting into.
It doesn't matter how smart or clever you are, you need that degree in something (literally anything) to get you into the door.
