I think only hard work will get you up to par. I'm in University and I know a TON of people who have to spend hours upon hours to get even average grades. Throughout high school I had to do at least double the math homework assigned, and I had a tutor four or five nights a week...and I still only passed with 55%. Some people just have difficulty with school and the whole academic thing. My thought is spending more time studying and finding what works for you (I go through my text books and type out my own notes)...no worries, it may take a while, but you'll get it. Good luck :)

Have you been tested for a learning disability? If not, you need to be. You may have one and not know it. I barely made it though high school and my first few days at going part time at the local college, a teacher noticed I had numerical dyslexia and a bad case of ADHD. I'm a research librarian now. Please, get tested.
One of my most effective learning tools was flashcards. Repetition was the most useful tool for me. I learned the entire periodic table (including atomic numbers!) with flashcards.
Tutors can help too - classmates or teachers can help. College students can be great tutors. After I started taking my medication, the teacher who suggested I get tested tutored me. I learned three years of high school math in 9 months thanks to him.
Good luck to you!

Talk to your teachers about the programs available to help you including tutoring. You'll find that in life, anyone who shows they want something and is willing to work for it is likely to get somewhere closer to their goal.
It's a good attribute to work on young and will pay off huge as you continue to get older.
Good luck!
