And to add one more thing: People who have ADHD have symptoms that are unique to them, everyone is different. Some do very well in school, many struggle. Some kids are exposed to a certain subject early and just happen to like it and don't get bored, others aren't as lucky. ADHD is not just about lack of focus or forgetting things, it goes way beyond that. What he will need is patience, understanding and support. Most of the work will come from parents, don't depend on the school system. The more you educate yourself the easier it will be for both of you.
