I have combined type ADHD, and I wasn’t diagnosed until my second year of university. I was an honour roll student in high school, and was on the dean’s list last semester (before I started taking meidcation). Absolutely its possible to be good in school and have ADHD!

I agree with ashockley and scatty. Its easier to do things with set expecations and structure. When things change, it can be harder to manage. I know when I’m in school with my schedule and calendars I manage very well without medication, its only been this summer with my constant-sitting desk job where I started having problems, because I don’t have that time between classes to go for a run or take the kind of break I want.
