You should look into the bona fides of the school.
Even if they're peddling bullshit, they could be a better education opportunity than you'll get from a public school. In your state, that's not a high bar. I know you're close to a major university so the public schools could be better, but it's still the public school system in that state. Private schools are regularly great educations. The teachers are paid better, so they are better at their craft by and large. You are still going to go to trig, and english, and literature, and calculus. Those classes are not going to be much different, if at all. Maybe biology will be a little screwed, but you are smart enough and probably already know more about evolution than you'd ever learn in a biology classroom in the American South.
You gotta make the best of the situation. Be a freethinker, and even though you might be forced to go to to a religious school, look for how you can benefit from this situation.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
