If your son isn't being challenged by the work at his school, perhaps he should do some more challenging online classes. I have heard that a lot of people are very satisfied with the Online High School Classes offered by Stanford. We haven't used them, so I can't recommend them personally. What we have been impressed with are the math classes through AoPS (Art of Problem Solving) and the Academic Writing II class through Duke TIP. I would be surprised if he was unchallenged by these classes. The AoPS classes are just the best math classes I've come across, and the teacher for the writing class works incredibly hard to make sure that all her students are working at a level that is appropriate for them (she really pushed my daughter once she saw what my daughter was capable of doing).
