In high school I often tried to get my parents to let me stay home. Sometimes worked. At school I'd often try to get the teachers to let me go to the library instead of stay in class. Sometimes worked. But high school was a waste of time in general.

I skipped many classes in college. There were classes I where skipped every single one except the test and the classes required to figure out when the test was. There was no class I didn't skip at least once. Even classes with so-called mandatory attendance. Closest I came to not skipping a class was my Bible history classes. Even then I skipped one or two.

I don't recommend doing this. I ended up not getting grades as high as I could've gotten in college, for no good reason.
