No you can't. Your parents can agree to a modification of conservatorship so that you can move in with your mom. If they cannot agree, then your mom can file a Petition to Modify Parent-Child Relationship and seek a change of primary conservatorship. If the court finds that it's in your best interest (your age will be a positive factor), then you would be able to live with your mom. You cannot withdraw/transfer high schools without parental permission.
