You are a US citizen, not a citizen of Florida or New Jersey, so you can go to school anywhere you like.

If you plan on attending a state funded school, which one you go to will depend on local (county/ district) rules, usually it is the one closest to wherever you will be staying. Most districts have websites where you put in your address and it tells you the local intake schools, as well as what bus will pick you up etc, and the website will also say what forms are needed to be filled out by your parents and/ or the local adult guardian you will be staying with. If you are planning on a private school, have your parents contact the school and they can send out enrollment forms, a brochure etc.

As a fourth year, you are about 15 or 16? You will likely be a sophomore or maybe junior in highschool.

4th year is around about 10th grade.

Best thing to do is have the family you plan on staying with, check with their school district, if they have an exchange program.

I assume you are a US citizen......you don't become a citizen of a specific state
