Would homeschooling work for us??

Hi,
I'm a single parent living in Indiana with one child - a 15 year old daughter in 10th grade. She gets sick very often and right now she's missed 2 weeks of school and several days this week so far. I'm terribly worried about her health and her education. When she's not sick she does excellent in school, however she hates the school atmosphere.
She attends a very large high school and doesn't like being around all the other students. She thinks most of the are "stupid" because they talk about sex, drugs, and other stuff that most teens are into, but that she's not into.
My questions are would homeschooling be an appropriate option for our situation?
Can a single parent, working full-time home school effectively?
Should I try to work something out with her school at this point or switch to homeschooling for the rest of the semester and until we get the health issues worked out?
I'd appreciate any feedback anyone has. Thanks!
