In most cases I have seen recently, an F will continue to show up on the transcript. I am not aware of drops being turned into an F. This is something that needs to be checked out with the individual school... also with a bit of pressure on the counseller, he or she should be able to make an exception for a change from honors to regular chem. Schools say they have these inflexible rules, but whan a parent shows up on campus, things begin to look different.
Substandard counselling is a pretty nice way of putting it. My advice is that you study up on exactly which classes your son needs to take and be sure that he gets them. Too many students wake up half way through high school to find they are not eligible for college.
With my students that have a tough class, I request a grade check every two weeks. I made a form that includes current grade, test scores, homework, participation and comments. This keeps the student and the teachers (and parents too) aware of everything in detail.
