There are advantages and disadvantages to any school situation,  pick the one your son feels comfortable attending ask him what he wants to do or try for a semester.

I strongly encourage most people to home school their children if they have the resources and have the dedication and where-with-all to make it happen. Last year's valedictorian at my daughter's High School was home schooled and received the National Merit scholarship. He was somewhat socially behind the other kids in his class and was talked to about social graces on a constant basis but he was absolutely brilliant.  I think that it is especially crucial given your son's hurdles.  Public schools are a tough place/underfunded and boys have a hard enough time keeping focused and seeing the importance of learning/getting ahead.

Home schooling was a consideration when my daughter was little, but work conflict and a lack of confidence on being able to educate her properly made me consider otherwise.
