Ahmed Mohamed's father, Mohamed El-Hassan Mohamed, said he had pulled all his children from schools in the area.
According to Mr Mohamed the arrest had a harmful effect on the teen.
Ahmed's arrest has been sharply criticised and the charges against him were quickly dropped.
Ahmed was arrested at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, after officials thought the device he brought to school was a "hoax bomb".
"Ahmed said: 'I don't want to go to MacArthur,'" Mr Mohamed told The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday. "These kids aren't going to be happy there."
Ahmed has received numerous enrolment offers from schools, his father said, adding that he wanted to give him a break before making a decision.
