I have 3 sons--23, 22, & 9, who have all loved academics, but learned better in less traditional environments. I homeschooled the older ones, until they went to college, because public schools were uninspiring and unsafe and private schools were elitist and expensive. When I moved to NY, I sent my 9yo to The East Village Community School, because it had the reputation of being "alternative" and it was relatively small. In the middle of last year, I ended up taking him out and working on starting a new school, which would be safe, inspiring, diverse, and affordable. That school is called The Manhattan Free School.

I am having this very same issue. You are NOT alone. I have tried everything I feel however still researching. I have tried the following:
behavior health-meds
Changing diet(foods and drinks, etc.)
Essetial oils
Incentives
the list goes on
I am noticing common traits of dyslexia or dyscalculia however the public schools/my location anyway does NOT recognize these is their school so no testing is available to be diagnoses. I have done so many things, seeking information and I feel alone sometimes like no one in my sons school is listening to me. Just sharing my experience with you. I hope it helps even a little.
