Answers:
grade 9: algebra I
grade 10: geometry
grade 11: algebra II
grade 12: pre-calculas (optional, but don't have to take math for this year)
its based on how smart your son is but usually in 9th grade you take algebra then in 10th grade it is geometry 11th grade algebra 2 and 12th grade would be pre calculus or if a year ahead calculus.
This is how it went for me, and as far as I know it's a pretty typical curricula.

9th- Algebra
10th- Geometry
11th- Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry
12th- Calculus

I'm pretty sure that's how it went.
Pre Algebra 9th grade
Algebra I 10th grade
Geometry 11th grade
Algebra II 12th grade


On these three you can double up...
at my school they werent required we only had to h ave 4 maths to graduate, but I took Pre-Cal and Calculus.. I love math...

Pre Calculus
Calculus
Trigonometry

Good Luck!
Most states have very similar standards. 3 or 4 math credits in High School (grades 9 - 12) to graduate. They go from Elemantary Algebra, Goemetry, Algebra, Algebra 2, Trigenomitry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Then of course you have you AP (Advanced) in each of them. most students can complete these grades with never seeing calc or trig. if your son has an apptitude for mathmatics then he could easily advance to higher levels of math in his high school term.
High school curriculum varies tremendously. No way to answer this. I've seen public schools that only offered up to algebra 2. No teacher was even qualified to teach beyond that. They sent you to a community college if you needed to go beyond that level.
