Your mother isn't taking your wish to be an actress seriously, obviously. The bad news is that there's no easy way to quickly change her mind. The GOOD news is that there are some things that you can do to change her opinion before the time comes for you to choose a college.
So here's what I'd recommend:
Do a lot more community theatre. It's all good experience, a chance to stretch your abilities and learn. Other acting opportunities may come up through the connections you make there; take them, if they feel right to you.
If you have an allowance or some other source of money, you might consider saving some of it towards acting lessons. But right now, experience is the best teacher. You might also learn some useful stuff by reading books about acting; check your local library.
In the meantime, you need to allay your mother's fears. She probably thinks that you're chasing a hopeless dream, and fears that you'll waste your education in the process. So at the same time that you're keeping up with community theatre, you need to work hard at school.
Sorry, I know that may sound boring, but if acting is what you really want then this is your best chance to do it. If you can show your mother that you can both act AND do well in school, her opinion may - slowly - change about acting.
You have four years. I think that will be enough time. And remember, getting good grades will also improve the range and quality of acting schools that you can enter.
This is your big chance. It may not be easy. But please believe me, your dreams are worth it.
