I had similar grudges about my school, but money and location didn't favor me, so I just bore it grudgingly. From what I have heard about the US, I am assuming the following might actually be possible:

- Convince your school to miss classes if you demonstrate great scores and promise to keep them

- Convince your parents to let you take a year off, promising to continue where you left off later and use the time to pursue your interest of study. You will either confirm your suspicion that school is a waste of time or gain completely different perspectives. Either case is a win

- Homeschooling. I am surprised your parents haven't come up with this option yet. I am not familiar with the US educational system, but can't you just study on your own and appear for qualifying exams that you would have normally taken after high school?
