Making up high school credits?

Question

I'm almost 17 years old and I've been homeschooling for a about a year now. I started out my freshman year of high school but do to serious medical set backs I have had to finish my freshman year and now most of my sophomore through homeschooling. The prgram in which my parents have been working with requiers that they eduacate me untill I'm 18 and then I can take my GED. Lately however, I have been doing much better. My health has been improving and I really feel like I'm missing out on my teenage years. I would love to go back to high school but I wouldn't know how to go about that. I only have 2 offical high school credits according to the state and I should be at least in the 10th grade. Is there a placement test I could take that would put me in the appropriate grade and give me the credits I need? Or is there an online schooling I can do that will allow me to make up the 8 credits I'll need to be in the 11th grade next year? I would love to go back to school. Please help...
