Have you talked to a school counselor about this?? They may have more specific advice that might help. If my parents neighbors can report them to the city for allowing weeds to grow rampant in their back yard (it was a patch of "field" since we were on the edge of the city but the neighbors didn't like it) then you surely can do something. The school counselor might have some ideas of how to approad the guy so that he'll listen. Honestly I doubt he thought you were joking. He was probably so thrilled with the attention that he ignored that it was negative and laughed off the negative part.
The other option is simple persisitance. When he comes to your door, open it and tell him he can come in once he showers. When he tries to talk to you repeat yourself. Whenever you see him suggest he take a shower. I know it may sound harsh but he's hurting himself as much as anything. Only thing is - if he DOES take a shower then you've gotta let him in.
As for the foot odor - if he's not showering I suspect that he's got Athletes foot. It's actually a fungus and antibacterial soap won't help. Get a foot spray and spray it in his shoes whenever you get a chance (that is if you ever get a chance) and if he comes to your door with no shoes on - lean down to spray his feet before speaking to him. Enough of this may actually help the odor. Foot odor could be a big reason for this.
Good Luck.
