OP - If your daughter got a  D in more than one class in high school, then there can be serious consequences for her future so it is important to get to underlying reasons for her behaviors.  A pediatrician is not necessarily the best person to be doing a mental health screening of a teenager already diagnosed with ADD and negative behaviors to the interventions offered.  I would suggest finding a woman psychologist who works with high school students to do a screening with a background being provided of what is going on at home, her attitude toward school, her interactions with her friends and especially any changes that you have noticed in last year.

I think it depends on which classes she got a D in and why as mentioned.  Also, what does her summer routine look like in the first place.  DD does not need an open summer spent doing nothing or having no sort of routine.  You might split the Ds and suggest a summer school class in the one that you really need to be sure she masters the basic skills set to move on in the public school say in math or a language.  For the other, if it is has less important building blocks or the skills might be addressed by a tutor, go that way, too.  Also try and find a tutor who can work with her on the organizational skllls as mentioned.  You might set something positive for her to also have as "a reward" for being willing to work towards certain goals.
