Can I study for one year at high school in the US despite graduating in Europe?

The question above may be a bit confusing but that’s because I couldn’t fit what I really want to ask into just 100 characters.
So, maybe before I rephrase my question to make myself more clear, I’ll start by providing some important information. I was born in the US (so I’m obviously a citizen) and I used to live there and attend elementary school. Though, by the time I got 8 I had to move out to Poland (of which I’m also a citizen) and that’s where I continued my education.

I’m currently in 11th grade (of 12, just like in the US) and there’s no possibility I could move back to the US at this point in time and finish high school over there and so I will probably graduate here, in Poland. However, I’m reeeally hoping to be able to study at Cooper Union in New York (or at least in one of the few other art schools there, particularly Pratt, Parsons or SVA) as I’m very passionate about visual arts.

Now, my problem is that I could not be treated like a foreign student since I have American citizenship, but at the same time because of having completed secondary education in Europe (okay, not yet but soon) I’ll be in a difficult situation. Definitely worse than a fellow citizen-college applicant, who could attend high school in the States and take Advanced Placement courses.

I’m fairly confident about my skills, so the infamous Cooper Union hometest should go smooth for me but I’m worried about my grades and scores. I know that CU, being an art school, focuses mainly on the talent (or the lack of it :P ) of an applicant and not the GPA or SAT scores too much, but it’s not like they totally overlook it, so I’m worried nonetheless.

I already know that I’m going to have to take the TOEFL test, get my Polish diploma translated at a proper institution in the States, grades converted so that my GPA could be counted (I’m afraid it’s going to be very low) and I’m suspecting that I’ll also have to take the SAT test. Though I don’t know what to do about the courses.

My question is whether it’s possible for a student who already finished secondary education in Europe to attend high school in the US for one year and receive a high school diploma? Perhaps, by somehow covering up the fact that I already graduated back in Europe…?

I know this sounds ridiculous but I don’t know what else I could do to increase my chances of getting enrolled. The education system in Poland is awful and it’s terribly difficult to get good grades here, believe me, so if I had the chance to attend a typical public US high school I’d get some better grades and thus a higher GPA. Plus, earning credits from courses would help a lot as well. And as far as I know, the AP courses are only for high school students, is that correct?

Sorry for making this so long, but I’d really appreciate any words of advice from you. Thanks in advance! :)

I’m thinking in terms of Trig, Chem, Global Studies, Economics – Not basic reading and writing, adding, and other skills you learned in elementary school.

“Concentration” was one of the great classics of the television world, running on NBC from 1958-73 for over 3000 episodes. It was a personal favorite of my mother’s when she was a child, and I guess that’s why I love it. But today, we’ll head all the way back to franchise’s 38th day on the air for a match between current champ Robert and new challenger Walter. The original commercials are here, along with a running timecode. (This was a request by “40onTheBlue”, who also requested a few other episodes that I’ll upload. This is also a shout-out to “banjochris”, who pointed me to the Paley Center’s holding of this episode — which contained the actual airdate.)
