There are a number of really good OOT yeshivos, some of which weren’t around in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. They are located in places as diverse as Philadelphia and Long Beach and each offers balanced programs of limudei kodesh and limudei chol on a par with the yeshivos in NYC. Obviously, they are not all offering the same “balance” and differ in competitiveness, class sizes, and overall ruach. Your son is special and you should not rely on others’ advice entirely but visit the school, spend a day or learning and perhaps add a Shabbos if possible. Talk with your son’s current rebbe and then make a decision.
