Suggestions on Focusing

My son is 7 years old, and is having trouble in school with finishing work properly and on time.  He is bringing home "F" on tests because he doesn't finish them.  Instead of doing his work at school, he is either making animal noises or staring off into space.  He says that he is just bored.  It isn't a lack of smarts that is holding him back.  All of his pre Teranova testing scores are at 100%.  He is very hyper and doesn't focus well on school work.  However, he has no problem focusing on video games or movies.  I don't want to take him for ADD/ADHD testing for them to put him on medication where he will be just a "lump".  Any suggestions?

How does he sleep?  I'm curious because I work with alot of kids with issues like this and help them with alternatives to medication.  Several teachers I work with are findinf these modalities help in the classroom.  Let me know if you are interested in hearing more or talking to this teacher.
