Maybe give some free advice about: School?
This is a question where the answer cannot come from us as only your probation officer, the local school system if your still in high school, can make that decision. As for the local school system a lot is going to depend on what you are charged with. The fact that you are on house arrest tells me you are charged with some type of serious felony.
It is my understanding that most High Schools and many Colleges will suspend you from school until you are adjudicated for the crime(s) you are accused of. This is for the safety of the other students. Even when those crimes may not be crimes against other persons.
In cases where you are suspend from high school; the school system, may provide a tutor. The tutor would have to be approved by your parole officer. You could attend classes via computer home study or lacking these resources having to wait for adjudication and then being offered GED services.
It is basically the same with College although they do not provide Tudor's or home teaching. Some of your subject might be offered on telecommuting by computer from your local community college. If so you most likely would be allowed to complete those courses on-line.
Any and all of this must be approved by your parole officer as it must conform with the orders of the court as to the terms of your pre-trial release and home detention.

You will have to talk to your Probation Officer about the stipulations of your house arrest, however, if you are a minor, most states require you to attend school. Your PO should give you the information you need and let you know if you are supposed to go back to your school or of he has alternatives to comply with state law, such as continuation program, homeschool, or independent study, ect. If he has not discussed this with you, you or a parent can call and he will advise on what to do.
If you are an adult, over the age of 18, depending on the conditions of your probation, there are usually several options such as work release and going to school. If this is not part of your house arrest, discuss this with your PO and see if he/she could work with you on getting this approved.
Another option is to attend school online. The k-12 program and connections academy both offer online schooling, that usually complies with state laws, but you will need to research to see which will benefit you, if this is something you'd be interested in. If you are over 18 , you can enroll or , if you are already enrolled, ask the collage to transfer you to online classes until you have finished your house arrest. I hope this helps.
