I'm going through Geometry - Alg 2 - Trig, then basic fraction touchups, ect, to prepare myself for community college. I hope it will be enough.

Find out what you need for the accuplacer or whatever your school uses and place as high as you can. At the very least you want to place into a credit course, you don't want to be paying for remedial classes.

Make sure to do the practice! You will not remember any of it if you don't practice. Good luck!
