I agree that most importantly, your DS has to be sure that he wants to accelerate and homeschool math. It is harder to be off the beaten path so it is important that he owns it. If your DS wants to do it. then go for it.

However, unless your DS is gungho about accelerating/homeschooling math, I would be hesitant with a 65% grade on the end-of-year pre-algebra test. Typically, these tests are rather basic compared to what is actually covered in the course and pre-algebra includes a chunk of elementary math review, so that 65% score probably means he knows less than half (even superficially) of the post-elementary math topics.
