Most likely, you'd be way below the level the other students are for your age, and unless you speak fluent French, you would't be taking math, science, history, geography... etc... like the rest of the students. If you do speak fluent french, I would suggest going for the year, just get a visa and sign up, I'm sure your family there can help you out with the administrative things, you'll be much better off from the experience. Cheers. (By the way, 'lycée' just means 'high school', its not some special school)

You would have to talk to your guidance counselor, or the office about that. They can give you all the information. I know that you will have a much easier time than the student doing the same thing from France, coming here. They generally have to attend a US school, and keep up all their grades here, PLUS do all their work from the home schools, because their education is all nationalized, so if they don't keep up, they wind up getting put in a vocational track, even if they are high on the academic levels ordinarily. At least, that's how it used to work.
