mwbashful18,

Your reference to a field trip to Mackinac Island leads me to believe you may live in Michigan. Do any of your neighboring/nearby school districts offer the “School of Choice” option, which would allow you to attend school in the neighboring (hopefully, more academicaly oriented) district, as allowed by state law. Many districts actively recruit students from nearby districts, as it gives them increased state funding.
If you live in Michigan, I suggest you contact your neighboring/nearby school districts, although transferring as a senior would be a drastic action.
