Parents do not receive stimulus checks for children older than 16. If your parents claimed you as a dependent for 2020 then you are still not eligible for a stimulus check---dependents do not receive stimulus checks.
If you were in high school in 2020 that means you were a full-time student for 2020 and your parents can claim you as a dependent for 2020.
