I think you should take it. To me a basic understand of all the sciences are as important as history or English or any other subject you take in high school. We live in an ever more complex world and knowledge of basic science is essential to understanding the world around you.
If you drive a car, understand physics can help you understand how to take a turn more efficiently or why using cruise control or inflating your tires will increase your fuel economy.
Physics is also useful is analyzing our energy sources, such as coil, oil, wind, solar, etc… They all come down to basic physics. For that matter so does global warming.
The mental discipline that comes from studying physics can be very useful when trying to solve other problems or understand today ever advancing technology.
Finally, it is very hard to go back and learn physics on your own if you ever want to. It helps to have had it in class.

Thank you all for indulging me.
If it turns out that you have a bad high school physics teacher you could also look into taking it at a local college for high school credit.
