Homeschooling Questions?

I am currently I’m the 9th grade and I am wanting to be homeschooled but my mom won’t let me. She thinks that homeschooled students are looked down upon during college admissions and she feels that a public school offers a good education. Personally I don’t like public school and I find Common Core standards to be destroying education. I am already ahead of my achool’s curriculum and am self-studying commutative Algebra, algebraic geometry, conformal field theory, theoretical computer science, and Game Theory on my own. I also am planning to do research with a Georgia Tech proessor over the summer and next year. I feel as if public school is pushing me behind. Our school only has one AP math class(Calc AB) and you can only take it if you took Algebra 1 one in middle school. I couldn’t do so because I didn’t pass the stupid placement test.
So how can I homeschool myself if my mom is against it. Does she have to be my teacher or can I go my own way as I am capable enough of self studying. Also is there anyway you can test out of high school? I am not going to take the GED or anything like that but I am willing enough to test out of high school. Is there anything like that?
On another note, the schools I am applying to require Calculus and as my school won’t let me take it(even though I already self-studied it) I will be at a huge disadvantage.
