Carla,
Thank you so much for reaching out, and welcome to the forums. I've been in your position, and my sister has also been in your position, and both of us had vastly different responses. I'd like to share both with you to hopefully help you when you're considering your options.
I'm sorry to hear that you've lost your motivation for school. It's difficult to be in that position where you're over school, but still have to go so regularly. It gets repetitive and you can lose your motivation, then it feels like such a chore. It's unfortunately a pretty universal experience too, particularly around your age. That doesn't make it any less of a struggle, though.
Have you talked to your parents about this? Do you feel as if they'd understand and support where you're coming from?
In terms of struggling with the workload and lack of motivation, I combatted this by implementing schedules and calendars into my life, and I developed a homework schedule that would push me to get work done. To me, the motivation to make the schedules came from my will to procrastinate, and then they ended up being super helpful.
I'd note down a time frame (for instance, 4pm - 5pm) and exactly what I wanted to achieve within that time frame (for instance, 50 words of an English essay). If you keep in mind what is realistic and achievable for you, you may find that you start exceeding this very quickly and you can inadvertently get more done. Removing all distractions also helps. There are apps that you can download that can stop you from using your phone during study sessions if you find that to be an issue, and I'd also encourage you to find a quiet place where you can study in peace.
I ended up staying at my school for the remainder of high school, as I had a few friends who I wanted to keep in regular contact with, and I didn't feel as if changing schools would've been beneficial for me even though I'd considered it. My sister on the other hand decided moving schools worked better for her, as many of her struggles at school were social. She ended up finding friendships quickly at her new school, which also gave her a renewed sense of motivation for studying. Both of us dealt with school-related struggles since then, but neither of us regretted our respective decisions.
I would say that it entirely depends on why you want to leave, and what you believe the new school will offer you. If it helps, there are ways to still keep in contact with your friends if you move, and there are also ways to make your experience at your current school better if you choose to stay. Perhaps a trial shift at a new school may help, if you're thinking about it.
I hope this gives you some greater insight to inform your decision, and I wish you the best of luck. Of course, we're here if you have any more questions or anything more to say, and there are many of us on the forums who have been in your position and will be happy to support you.
All the best, SB
