I don’t think you can guarantee that a boarding school will have a better environment or outcome. Don’t forget that there are troubled kids there as well and they also want your tuition.
I would try to get him very involved in an out of school activity. That could be a job, a faith-based program, maybe a volunteer project. A lot of kids with ADHD do well as EMTs on the ambulance corps for example. Is he at all artistically involved - how about film or sculpture?
