Chance my son: repeat junior at a boarding school

From your description of the ADHD and grades, I’m wondering if the brother’s school would be a fit for this student. There are schools that have rigorous academics but also have support for learning differences such as ADHD. And if the ADHD is impacting his grades and test scores, the learing difference support might make a difference that he could carry with him into college and beyond.

Most schools have very few spots for juniors as they fill their classes with 9th and 10th graders. Reclassifying as a junior is fine, but if you’re going to do that, my recommendation is to look at a number of schools and find the right fit. That might be the same school his brother is in, but it might not.
