oh, please read what kayakmom has to say about her son. He loves that class. They just want reassurance that the B which will appear on the high school transcript will not affect his chances down the line unduly.

I used to wonder whether it was a good thing for the grades my S got in college level classes were all converted into Pass. Of course, when he got As, we felt it was too bad they were. But that system gave him the extra confidence to challenge himself. The only issue he had was whether he was learning comfortably or struggling. And that really is the question the OP and her son ought to be asking themselves.
