Nope, prom is not an obligation and you can choose if YOU want to go. If you don't like your year group then you won't have a fun time partying with them (probably) and might as well have a nice night in with some friends/ family instead.

Personally I would skip it. I didn’t go to mind and had no regrets. It’s a highly staged right of passage probably only enjoyed by the socially over confident. If nothing about it appeals to you then you’re not losing out

Get an outfit from a charity shop. One that's only just within the limits of the dress code is fine.
Don't spend a lot of time nor money on the outfit.

At the prom practise your social skills. Regard it as an opportunity to benefit you, And not a social obligation.

Feel free to tell any teachers at the prom what a terrible time you had at school and why you had such a bad time.

Thank the better teachers. Thank the better fellow pupils. Give them a clear and highly specific compliment.
Spread a little joy to those that deserve it at this social event.
