Microsoft Math has been rated by users as 4.5 out of 5 stars.  You may want to give it a try.  Here is a description from Microsoft:

"Microsoft Math features a large collection of tools, tutorials and instructions designed to help students tackle math and science problems quickly and easily. Students will learn how to solve equations, step-by-step, while gaining a better understanding of fundamental concepts in pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, physics, chemistry and calculus."

Some good online tutorials/lessons:

http://www.math.com/

http://www.purplemath.com/

http://www.kidsolr.com/math/index.html

The last two are pages that list links with a summary, and between the three you should be able to find something to increase your skills.  

However, I would suggest going to a local community college and take a few beginning math courses there, so you get credit for them, which will help on your college applications.  Most have a few high school classes as well.  The downside is you will have to pay for them and they may not be scheduled for a time you are free.  

There are also online high school courses, some which may be free to you as an extension of your public school district:
