[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Deal with the problems and don't equate them to his grade.  Changing his grade doesn't sound like an option or a solution.[/quote]

I would personally leave the grade alone and see how well your current school can deal with twice-exceptional students.  If they know what to do and have a positive track record, you should be okay.  If they aren't really prepared to deal with the ADHD much less possibly being above level in reading and math, then find the best public school in your district for twice-exceptional kids and do what you have to do to get into that school e.g request a transfer, rent an apartment or home in boundary for that school, rent out your current house if need be for in boundary for that school.

Your only other options if your neighborhood school isn't working would be to homeschool (which may address academic but wouldn't help with facing the social challenges your child currently has), private school which you said isn't an option, or spend considerable time fighting an uphill battle at current school which at the end of the day may change nothing.
