Can a school tell you that you cannot drop a class?

^^^Because you have no choice? Because the school won’t let you drop it and you’d get an F if you didn’t do the work?

This can happen in college too. If you don’t drop a class within the time period allowed, you get a W, or an F or you can finish the class.

You are unhappy, and I understand that, but no one on CC can change the rules your school set up. You’ll have to fight with the school. I can just tell you that at my daughters’ school, they would not have been allowed to drop an AP class once they started it. You might have more luck with your school.

You’ll still get the high school credit if you don’t take the test for college credit. No different than the many many students who take AP exams and don’t score high enough for college credit or go to colleges that won’t accept AP credits. The course is still a course and one has to assume there is value in the course itself, not just for AP credit.
