I guess it depends on many things but it can be a good option, if you're dedicated to learning about it and it's something you really want to do. If you always like mechanical things and see how things work it's a good start.
There are a lot of options, like school, apprentice, etc. but it's too variable to say anything concrete. I started doing it when a reputable repairer, with official certificate from some of the most famous instrument makers, really botched my soprano clarinet, and failed to repair my bass.
It was very slow, mostly being self taught, with a lot of help from a couple of people. I liked it enough that I would be doing it as a hobby if it didn't work. Luckily it did. It sort of happened naturally, along with realizing that I can't work just as a musician unless I really compromise what I play. This means the types of gigs I don't want to do and/or playing music I don't want to play. This way I can play only what I want, though it is a job too.
Since you're just in high school (about the same as when I started) I would get a few junk instruments and some basic tools (screwdrivers, feeler), disassemble, reassemble, figure out how the mechanisms work, etc. and see if you like it.
