Our DD8 is good as gold at school and a terror at home. I think holding it together at school is a HUGE part of why she lets loose at home. Not sure what the solution is and not even really sure if it is better this way. I think I'd much rather her act out at home than in public, but is that a good or bad thing and should I feel that way...don't know.
Her GIEP meeting is coming up soon, so maybe if we can get some accommodations and enrichment in place at school she will not be so frustrated.
It does sound hopeful that your school is willing to try different things. Maybe it needs to be more or something different. What does your son tell you he wants? (barring staying home and just working on what he wants to) What would his ultimate day at school be like? How can the adults in his life make things better for him within reason?
