It depends on which credits you need. You need to take them from an accredited source so your state will accept them. BYU Independent Study is one online source I know offers courses of this kind: elearn.byu.edu. But before you start any classes, make sure that they will work for you. It would be a waste of time and money if you find out the courses are not acceptable.
I also know that there is a community college in my area that offers a high-school diploma program. Maybe you could look into that.
Of course there are GED courses as well, through organizations like community education.
I would say talk to a school counselor or the state office of education and find out more about your options.

Privately owned online schools, generally speaking, are not cheap. However, there are other options for you to complete your credits for 12th grade. One is a "public school at home" program via K12, Inc.; click the link below to see if K12 has a virtual school in your state:

Another option for you to obtain credits for 12th grade is via a traditional (not online) homeschooling curriculum/program. The homeschooling laws are different in every state, and in some states homeschools are considered to be legal, private schools. (Your parents could issue/buy you a valid diploma in this case.) In other states, it is necessary to homeschool via a church school or "umbrella" school.
The Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) has information on legal homeschooling options for every state and on how to get started in homeschooling; the link is below:
http://www.hslda.org/laws/default.asp
Depending upon how much time and effort you put into online school/homeschooling, you should be able to complete your credits for 12th grade in a traditional school year (or less).
I hope this information is helpful.

Go to a community college in the summer. I did that to get ahead, and it only cost like $20 for the class, but like $100 for the book.

Get A G.E.D. they are just as useless, and it only takes 7 hours if you have half a brain. Plus the best kinda school you can get in after is community college either way, so what's the diff?

I'm pretty sure yur school district can provide you with the necessary materials to finish your degree.(it's why we pay taxes). It shouldn't take that loneg since you have already gone this far.
