This is coming from someone who used not try and get a lot of D's and F's, to a full straight A student. My advice is the following tips:
Be organized. Organization plays a major factor. If you are not organized you can lose things, which can make it more difficult for you to get work done. What I do is keep a binder for all my subjects, I divided it into five sections, and each section is divided into three more sections for class work homework and tests and quizzes.
Do your work. This is pretty obvious, but work is a huge chunk of your grade. I force myself to do my homework in a study hall, or right when I get home, and I break it up into chunks so I am not going straight on through and just scribbling down random answers. I take my time with it.
Turn stuff in on time. I dunno how your teachers are, but a lot of mine give you a few days, normally two, to hand in late work. I recommend getting it done and turning it in the next day. It makes things a lot easier.
Break things into chunks. Like I said before, breaking things into different pieces makes it a whole lot easier. I will do this a lot of the times with projects, but with homework too. I give myself some break time in between assignments so that way I am not stressing myself out
Take good notes. Notes can play a huge part of success or failure. My recommendation for notes is this: I title all my notes and I write everything my teacher does or make side notes of what they say on the right hand side. It makes things a whole lot easier when I try to do assignments later that day or when I try to study.
Finally is to study. Do not procrastinate when you study. I say take five to ten minutes a night as soon as you start a new chapter. That way it will stick easier and you will have a better understanding.
Hopefully this helps and good luck.
