The young man's accomplishments may be prodigious. He himself is precocious.
On re-examining the sentence, I think the author was looking for an adjective to indicate the child is a prodigy.

But then:
"Funny thing if I am not mistaken the US reinvented Gorilla Warfare during the revolution."

Here are some comments from yet another self-appointed expert on the topic of education:

Good school or not is actually start at home.
If you can spend 1 extra hour with your kids every day, their grade will go up.
I have 2 special needed kids. I am not say school is no good.
I just saying what you do at home will make a big different.

On a positive note, at least she isn't doing home schooling with her kids.
