Hello and thank you for writing to JustAsk,
Please note that any time you see a significant change in a student's academic success and/ or behavior that this should warrant a formal school meeting with the teacher(s) and possibly school counselors or advisors. Only then can some behavioral and academic information be ascertained. Also, the school may advise some specific testing to determine if there are any learning difficulties which need to be addressed.
Best wishes,
