Odd that your schools put you in the two-grades-ahead math track and into the advanced math course that compresses two years into one year if you “struggled” in math. But if you need calculus for whatever you study in college, you may want to take the second half of calculus BC in high school, since your high school teaches calculus at a gentler and slower pace than how colleges teach calculus.

However, in math, the level completed is often more important than the number of years. Calculus is already more advanced than most high school students reach in high school.
