:( I know what that feels like. I see that there are numerous helpful responses already. Here's a couple links:
1) How to ADHD (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-nPM1_kSZf91ZGkcgy_95Q/vid...)
2) Lecture by Dr. Barkley. Essential Ideas for Parents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCAGc-rkIfo Type "Dr. Barkley ADHD" to see shorter snippets.

The spread in executive functioning and other attributes between ADHD sufferer and non- is WAY wider than the spread between tallest and shortest person.

Some ADHDers will do worse in Montessori because it requires more executive function that regular school. Look up "hyperfocusing". The student might do one thing that interests them and nothing else. That will be a huge problem in Montessori, which expects the child to by themselves go from activity to activity. Some ADHDers will do better in more structured environments.
