if he does not like Span drop it since he's completed 4 years, correct. Just one caveat, however, as more and more colleges require a language competency for graduation, the AP level in HS could mean he complies with the college requirement.) The Subject Test is not easy for non-native speakers, so it would not be recommended for someone with a poor teacher or someone not taking AP Span. Note, your S could take the subject test late in senior year (when it won't count for admissions) and, depending on the college, still pass out of the language requirement with a good score. All, of course, pending on the new score choice rules.
Stats is a great course, and is highly recommended for any and all, but the analytical ability to do well is only Alg 1. Thus, BC is a no-brainer to complete the sequence. Yes, the two-year AB/BC sequence takes the twice the time as is offered at many high schools, but adcoms will see that the two-year sequence is typical of your school, so it won't be held against him. The other option is to double math: BC + Stats.
Findaplace: a 5 on the AP Language test is good-to-go for any college, particularly the UCs.
