Should I, an online schooler, go to an in person school for 11th grade?

I've never been to an in person school before. I was homeschooled until 9th grade, did an online school that sucked, and now that I am in 10th grade I am using an online school that is really good.

I begged my parents to let me apply to a private school near me last grade. They said yes, on the condition that I do all the work for it. This didn't guarantee me going to the school since it is expensive, but I would understand if I couldn't attend for that reason. After completing essays, testing, and interviews, I ended up getting a scholarship that covers 75% of the tuition. After seeing how hard I worked to apply and that I got the scholarship, they enrolled me to attend next year.

The only problem is that now I am not so sure about it. Right now I am doing an online school that has good teachers, interesting textbooks and assignments, and I can work at my own pace. I do have problems with falling behind due to motivation, but the school counsellor and teachers have been working with me to keep on track, even though there aren't any due dates. This school is also quite forgiving, teachers will look over your assignments before you submit them (basically telling you what you need to fix), it let's you take quiz's up to two times (averaging the scores), and some teachers let you resubmit assignments for better grades (I could turn a 96% marked assignment to a 100% in some classes).

This online school is already working well, should I really risk this? I originally wanted to go to a school for the social aspect, but I already do sports and am involved in my church, is risking my grades worth it? It does get lonely at times though, where I feel as though I am missing out, I haven't hung out with anyone for a year and a half TT. In online school, I have been able to get over 96% in all my classes, which I don't know if I could do at the private school. Should I try the experience or just stick with what works until college?

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place to ask, just let me know!

TLDR; should I stick with an online school where I work and do well, or should I risk going to an in-person school for a "high school experience", where I would be able to interact socially but also risk my grades?
