If you are involved parents, it is difficult to make a wrong choice.

There is nothing wrong with homeschooling and it works best when you have a network of people who are doing the same to add-in social opportunities. The only thing that I would be a little concerned about in your specific situation is the timelines. Transitions are the hard part. Setting up the homeschooling methods/practices/habits, and then switching back to traditional school methods/practices/habits. Homeschooling for just 1-2 years eats up a lot of time in transition.

If you have a decent public school option. Consider participating in it. Get involved, volunteer, give feedback in the school board meetings. Take however much time you planned to spend on homeschooling and invest it there. Both your child and others will benefit significantly. However, don't sacrifice yourself or your kids to try and save a bad situation. It also means that socially there will be some pre-existing friends for that first year of high school.

I think this is true for so many other areas of parenting. I might print that out.
