No wise answer, it's good that you are so enterprising as in you already have a business.
Street smart is okay for teaching you how to build up a tough exterior and survive the realities of the real world but it doesn't replace education.
To run a business successfully you will need a good grasp on English/other languages if you expand, math, social science and so on other wise you will not have complete control and understanding of how to expand, pay taxes, insurance and engaged accountants. What I'm trying to point out is that without a basic or higher grasp of education you will get ripped off.
Education is the key to your future don't throw it away. See if there are ways you can apply what you learn at school with the way you run your business.

Probability of making it big on street smarts alone is far less than book smarts. Putting in the time and effort into college can get you a better paying job coming out. Simple economic philosophy, forfeit current consumption for a greater future consumption. That, and if you decide to go back to school after working, many people lose the motivation and never end up doing so. Do yourself a favor and go to college i.m.o.

See both are important. Education gives you lots of knowledge and wisdom that is required very much in this world. Business gives you perfect knowledge only or the subject your business requires for its survival hence the best would be for you is to slightly slow down your business a little bit so that you would find time to just pass your school examinations. I congrajulate you for your capabilities and wish you a very sucessful career.

Street smarts AND an education will get you further in life than street smarts alone. If you don't do it now, you probably won't go to school later.

you're a senior, which means your almost done with school. so you dont have that long to go...finish school first, and then you will be free to give your full attention to your business so that you can run it with the best of you ability.
