Is this a public school? Does it use common core standards? Is the standard 8th grade math "pre-algebra"? Because common core has redefined what material is covered in 8th grade math & algebra it's hard to tell you what to recommend without more details.

I agree with the posts that you really want mastery in algebra before moving on. I think you need to take a good look at what the curriculum in the pre-algebra class, vs his current class and the algebra class. I also would look at what is keeping the grades B's.
