Another classy response although I am of the opinion that this site is probably not the best forum to help guide some 15 year old on whether he should pack up and attend some boarding school 1,000 miles away. I would suggest that the kid needs to outline his goals, with some specificity, identify any gaps on achieving those goals and then do the pro/con on all the options available. This is probably way too detailed and way too personal for this board. If he is looking for practical advice (how to go about repeating, how to do a PG year) there is probably some good advice here and maybe some ideas on alternative routes (like JUCO ball mentioned above), but whether he should/should not skip is a little too complex and personal for this site IMO.
Current Pros/Cons are extremely skimpy and do not reflect significant research. This is a serious decision and hopefully this site is not his best sounding board.
