You are kind of entering the game a bit late and homeschooling can actually make it harder not easier to get into the college of your choice. How are you planning on taking your classes? Will you do online or independently study for them? Even if you homeschool, the colleges still want to see the same type of course load, so you may not suddenly get a lot of free time to study for AP or SAT tests. You will see need to take classes and show them on your transcript. Homeschooling still requires you to actually school, only in a different way. It does not mean sit home to study for tests. The tests are alongside the courses, just like high school.

If you want to do early entrance instead, you might want to look for colleges that encourage this. There are numerous colleges that allow you to start in your junior or senior year. My sister went to a college that allowed it, even though it didn’t have an early entrance program. She started at 15. Take a look here. There is a list of early entrance programs in the US and other countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_entrance_to_college

Also look at individual college admissions pages for early entrance opportunities. Many colleges mention it as an option. You wont need to graduate for early entrance, but you do need to show you are ready.

Now if there is something going on at school that makes you wish to leave and homeschool, that is a totally different situation. If that is the case, there are a lot of people here who can help give you suggestion.
