Most certainly! There are a few possibilities why someone with an extremely high IQ could fail at school which are but are not limited to:

1. They are bored and uninterested in the subjects

2. Hate the teachers

3. Hate the students

4. Have bad home lives

5. They could be lazy procrastinators who have found everything easy and so have forgotten how to study or don't have the discipline required to put in the effort needed or fail due to not changing their methods

6. They stay up too late making them feel tired in the mornings and of such don't wake or sleep in due to a multitude of reasons

7. Have an inferiority / superiority complex and so don't like being told what to do which can lead to dropping out, getting an expulsion due to their actions against said authority figures and / or loosing interest

8. Have a plan already for after school which does not need good grades or are inheriting / taking over a company owned by their equally/less/more intelligent parent/s

9. They could get mixed up with the wrong crowd and get hooked on drugs such as weed and alcohol essentially leading to many issues

10. Feel socially inclined to be cool or succumb to social pressure of which means getting bad grades and not doing study / homework

11. Lack in other intelligent aspects such as an adequate memory

12. Could be like 'rain man' and so cannot pass on all areas of school due to lack of an aptitude for them and are only good at one thing but are a prodigy at this, or the way the information is taught and / or then asked in tests does not suit them

13. Could be free going types whom don't wish to make plans or have commitments and are happy wherever the wind takes them

14. They could fail by being injured in a way that is detrimental to their school advancements

15. Could gain a mental health issue such as depression leading to no motivation or could have something like dyslexia

16. Could become insane leaving school or think drastically different to the norm and so might feel no need for school

17. Their insecurities could lead to wanting to leave school such as social anxieties or they could break down due to pressure

18. May be held back by pride and narcissism making them not want to be with other students or study like other students

19. May be a misanthrope and want nothing to do with society in general

20. They might die from different possible causes or commit suicide

Not only is this a possibility but due to the nature usually possessed by a person with a extremely high IQ it is probably more common than someone with a normal IQ.
