I thought this put things into a nice, concise format, so when the schools dish out BS, parents can send them this.

I thought I posted this, but apparently not.

Useful Dear Colleague letter and resource guide regarding ADHD, released July 2016 (this is the original document, referenced in the link in blackcat's post):

A paragraph that might be particularly relevant here (emphasis mine):

"Someone with ADHD may achieve a high level of academic success but may nevertheless be substantially limited in a major life activity due to his or her impairment because of the additional time or effort he or she must spend to read, write, or learn compared to others.44 In OCR’s investigative experience, school districts sometimes rely on a student’s average, or better-than- average, grade point average (GPA) and make inappropriate decisions.
Thanks for posting. I think that's a major problem for a lot of students who need accommodations or interventions but the school just sees grades/scores and other students look worse off.
