"Bored" as the reason that a student is underperforming is almost always bs. If you're so smart then just perfect the material and ace your tests. It should be exciting not boring.
I went to a magnet high school. The very smart kids have a lot of fun running circles around everybody else.

Nah, pretty much everyone of slightly above average intelligence spends most of school bored.
Yeah, "bored" is a shared symptom which can come from a broad set of causes which call for different responses.
Some non-exhaustive examples:
1. Bored because they already knows the material.
2. Bored because the particular in-class activities are not engaging but they'll make more progress at home.
3. Bored because the entire subject seems like pointless memorization.
4. Bored because of a neurochemical issue.
5. Bored because the lesson is over their heads, and they need to be distracted.
