Precalc... i've heard it's easy...

One kid in my school skipped from Algebra 2 AA to Calc AB. They wouldn’t let him skip all the way to BC, and really, if he did, what would he do with his next two years in high school? If you’re really good at math, do it. Pre-Cal just solidifies your Algebra skills, if you don’t need that, it’s pointless. But I think very few people can skip Pre-Cal and go into BC. My school only offers AA (advanced), AB and BC calc, so if I had skipped, I would have gone for AA (equally weighted). I’d head for the least advanced calc if skipping. If the course proves to easy, move up. Don’t get involved in BC and then move back to AB after failing your first quarter.
