Same thing happened to me. I was valedictorian of my high school, parents couldn't/didn't want to pay for college, and I qualified for no scholarships because I wasn't poor enough. I have been at a community college for two years, and I am getting ready to transfer to a four-year university next semester. I have saved up as much as possible, and am going to take out the rest in student loans. Hopefully you can get your parents to help you fill out the FAFSA, it is one of the only ways to obtain student loans or any federal aid. Going to a community college first is definitely a great choice though.

Take a year off, get a job that pays enough for you to get your own apartment (I did it on less then $9 an hour full time with a baby and a bum husband, so its possible). Get room mates if you have to. Then once youve been on your own for a while apply to college and do the FAFSA without your parents aide. Take out minimal loans to help. Save up whatever you can from your job (dont buy extras). In the mean time decide what you want to do with your life career wise so you dont end up wasting credit hours on classes you wont need.

Go to school during the day and get a part time job at night. If you are staying at home there's no need to pay any rent so all you have to do is pay for your classes. Which should be feasible with a job.
