The answer to this question, as with many questions, is : It depends.

If all you want is an introduction to statistics and you are not taking it in lieu of a more important core class (e.g. calc) and it does not overwhelm the schedule, it’s fine.

If you plan a career focused on STEM which requires statistics, you’ll likely need a calc-based stat class in college. If you are planning a career in Econ/poli sci/business (among others), you may (or may not) need statistics in college at a level above AP.
