I was terribly bored in school for the same reason.
If I had a child with this problem, I wouldn't even consider drugs. I would do my best to challenge them with higher-level reading material, computer games, programming (Logo or something) as soon as they're ready, etc.
I would also try to get them to meditate with me. That is the best way to learn to manage a wayward mind.
Neurofeedback, if I understand correctly, is a kind of electronically-assisted meditation. As such I think it might be worth trying if they just weren't ready for more self-directed forms.
