Can I enter the US if I have been to Iran? - Signboard showing direction of underground station

I’m a British citizen of Iranian heritage, and me and my parents visit Iran every year. I’m hoping to go to New York for a trip, however my Iranian dad (a British citizen) once applied for a visa, and got rejected.

It’s my first time dealing with travelling this complicated, and I’m not getting any straight answers from the internet. I would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me if I need a visa, and if I do, am I likely to get rejected if I apply? Is there anything else I need to sign up or fill in forms for? Thanks very much for any answers.

If it helps, I’m a student who’s trying to go on a school trip, and our school is using a travel agency to arrange it.
