If it's acceptable in your community, invite the entire families of some friend prospects over for Shabbos lunch. Spending a leisurely Shabbos afternoon together can be a good way to go from basic acquaintances to friends.

I should note he has only 1 frum kid his age here. We basically live in a shluchis community. There are no other frum kids here and his classmates aren't frum. So he does play with other kids but would like him to somehow form a closer bond to some of the Jewish kids at his school. We do have friends over and he goes to them as well but they aren't so close like a best friend. We do have some families over for shabbos as well. But the shul doesn't even get a minyan regularly.

Not all kids have best friends. It sounds like he does socialize and based on your circumstances sounds like there isn't anything else to do.

Would you want him to be close friends with the non Frum kids? Would that be an equal friendship or would you expect that to be a kiruv situation? You might get better responses in the Lubavitch sub forum, most people here are not going to be familiar with your particular situation. It’s hard for a child to cultivate real friendships when their lifestyle is very different from their peers
