I cruised though high school with a similar way. I never studied and only did homework when it was 100% of the grade or the teacher gave the homework assignment at the beginning of class. I remember in trig, I handed in the homework at the end of class every day.
My grades weren't great but I did learn it all. I even tutored people in classes that I was getting Cs and Ds in. The French teacher go so frustrated with me, she didn't let me take French in my senior year. Since I was fluent, she still let me go on the class trip to France.
It killed me in college though. I didn't have bad study habits, I had no study habits. I went to a fairly hard school and struggled. I ended up dropping out and never got my degree. It hurt my job prospects short term, but not in the long term.
