| maybe high school is not the best place for him
Are there any dual-enrollment options available to your son - he might be able to find more stimulating classes (no guarantee, but he could talk with profs before signing up) at a local community college? Or, would he be interested in taking control of his own education and homeschooling? There are many good online options, if that style of learning would work for him (although they can still involve tedious busy work, so, again, you'd have to choose carefully). For English, Duke TIP has a great online course with a teacher who individualizes for each student, and for math AoPS (artofproblemsolving.com) is a great resource. He would have to be very motivated to making independent learning work, however, or he could end up wasting the year.
