Yea looking at the art and premise, it's just a generic Robin using Damian's name
The premise definitely isn't generic Robin.
The Robin who feels he's too cool for school can really only be applied to Damian.
Similarly the Robin who needs to learn how to be 'a regular kid' also only applies to Damian.
It is pretty much a fleshed out version of Damian's Supersons 1st few arc's

Not really Damian news but if you need a good laugh:
december 21st has passed where are my superpowers?
After Williamson interview I got the impression that Damian will be set-up to eventually become part of Totality. Maybe it's the reason why he's absent in Future State.
The Robin who's too cool for school can be applied to anyone. Modern Dicks have been depicted as a jock bored with school, Jason outside of a select few who actually read old comics has a bad boy rep, and there's New 52 Tim and streetwise crossbreeding of Tim and Jason in TNBA.
What I see here is a premise of a young daredevil that has to mingle with the mundane. The author said, pretty much, that he wants to take these larger than life superheroes to the real world, to us, and make a story that we can be heroes too. That's a generic premise that can be used on any character.
Original pre flashpoint Tim was also usually not that interested in school.
IIRC the only Robins who liked school, were Dick during the Golden and Silver Age, and post crisis Jason.

We all remember how long Damian lasted at Gotham Academy...
