Many states now allow public online high school programs. Some of these online schools are created by district or state organizations. Others are run by local charter schools. A recent NPR article reports:
“Online education for high school students is gaining popularity, but it may not realize one of the original promises of distance education: saving money.

To find a program in your area take a look at this state-by-state list of free online public schools.
