Is it normal to almost completely forget everything you learned in high school within a short period of time?

I was in an online homeschool program for the entirety of my high school years, and its asynchronous class structure allowed me to work ahead and graduate a year early. I studied and received good/acceptable grades. It's been 6+ months now, and I have honestly remember close to nothing about what I learned, be it from History, Science, English, etc. I might be able to solve some simple Algebra problems, since that's what I spent the most time studying for. However, there are lots of terms, names, dates, etc. that sound familiar now (like French Revolution, iambic pentameter, Boyle's Law), but I genuinely could not tell you anything more other than that I've heard it before. I never took the ACT or SAT, but hopefully consider myself to have fairly good reading, writing, and vocabulary skills especially since I had a good educational foundation in primary school (attended a good public school). But I am worried about this, is it normal, and will this affect me should I go to college?
