Umm, it's impossible to fail high school. Less students failing = more funding for the school = less money the government has to waste on people who fail a year. If your smart, just do okay enough on ur SAT's so you can go to community college and get your basics done. Get a good GPA there and transfer to the college of your choice. You will save a lof of money and stress doing this. Studying for A's and worrying about your GPA in high school is a waste of life. oh yeah, save money, CLEP tests. that is all.
I studied my butt off in high school & was salutatorian, and I couldn't even get a full ride to the college of my choice. Tells you how much high school really means.
