OP - If your son's psychiatrist is recommending a day treatment program, it would seem he has some serious mental health issues to deal with so you want to have a clear understanding of what they are, what is the goal of the day treatment program - individual counseling/group counseling/ better medication management???  I can tell you that it is essential to deal with the mental illness as first priority as you would cancer and then figure out the academics.  How long is his day treatment program expected to last? Will insurance cover the cost?   If you can work out the treatment plan, I would focus on this. There is no deadline on finishing high school.

If it is a time limited treatment program, perhaps with tutoring he could make up some of the missed course work.  If he is early into high school then perhaps he can map out a way to work in missed credits in summer school or doing online equivalent courses.  A day treatment program would seem to offer the mental health services that a private special needs day school would not, but perhaps compare the two.
