Seeing as you fully admit being an asshole without giving some details, im just gonna judge and say you dont even deserve my advice/sympathy.
Yeah pretty much.

Let me clarify one thing, I'm the most polite person around, I'm slightly arrogant and I know that, but I overplay it as satire and make fun of myself more than anybody else. I do make fun of people a lot, but it's not personal. I suppose I'm somewhat of a troll because outwitting people is fun for me, but when I think about it, nobody is really any better than me, I just think everybody is stupid.

I have an inferiority complex(if that is correct)in that I think that I'm the most important person around and tend to judge other people, and I really have trouble over-coming that.
FYI pretty sure you mean superiority complex.

My advice would be to find out from other people at school what you do wrong. This shouldn't be too embarrassing if you're going to be leaving soon anyway. Then, assuming you go to university afterwards, you'll be able to make use of what you learned. If you can't help insulting others (albeit accidently) then at least make sure you can always take a few insults/knocks from them without immediately taking a shot at them after. Let them have a few victories, don't always try to get the last word.

To be honest though, going to uni usually means you'll run into a load of people who are a lot smarter than you. Not necessarily smarter at what you're good at, but uni is about specialising in knowledge. For example, you may be shit-hot at history, but some guy doing chemistry will know far more about his subject than you will by the end of his 1st year. So long as you don't insist you know more than he does about his own subject, you should be fine. Otherwise, might want to start wearing a cup
That's my problem, I think that, for some reason, I know more about everything than everybody else.

Pretty much half of my school dislikes me, and it is pretty much my fault for being an asshole in general for a while. I feel pretty bad about that upon realizing what a dick I've been, so how would you guys, the members of a forum I rarely visit, go about turning my life around.

I'm a senior in high school so there's pretty much no chance of making people like me by the time school is out, but I really don't want to be a total asshat for the rest of my life.
been reading 4chan to much?

Congratulations, you have learned your first life lesson. It's easier to be nice to EVERYONE (regardless of how much you dislike them) than to be a dick. Is it throwing a facade? Yes to some extent, but that's how the business world works.

The next step is taking responsibility for ALL of your actions. If you did it, it's your fault, there isn't any medical condition to excuse you from YOUR actions.

Finally, you have to realize that YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANYTHING. You will have to earn everything in life. Once you understand that, everything becomes easier. You'll have pride in the things you have accomplished and will most likely become more humble.

That's my 2 cents anyhow.
I think you got me there. I seem to have caught IRL troll syndrome.

I've been trying to be nicer and more peacable to everybody, as well as stopping my arrogance, but I just think people dislike me from previous encounters and my general dickishness of the past.

My advice would be to do as much as you can in the time left before you graduate to raise your reputation. Apologising to people does a lot, as is being generally nicer/politer to everyone.

I know you're about to leave for a new social environment where you can start again, but if you've pissed off a lot of people, remember that they don't just disappear after graduation. The world has a distressing habit of getting very small sometimes, and you don't want your future messed up by people having (and spreading to others) a bad opinion of you.

It's hard to turn over a new leaf, but if you do so genuinely and honestly, and persist, people will eventually improve their opinion of you. good luck!

Yeah, I just hope I haven't screwed up too much of my future by being too much of an asshole now.
