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

Can the school just choose not to take the students’ concerns into consideration?

Yes. Many many high schools prohibit students from dropping AP classes after the beginning of the year.

I’m not sure what you expect your GC to say to any of your points, but assuming that the HW burden is not something like 3 hours a night, you should have known what you signed up for.

Whether you should whine about your teacher to the GC is a matter of debate, but I would suggest not thing about her to colleges - they don’t want to hear it. Maybe the teacher is indeed ineffective, but we only have your side of the story. However, the reality is, sometimes you have bad teachers. In college, you may have a required class with a bad professor. Later on, you may have a bad boss. You can certainly choose to extricate yourself to any of these situation, but know that they will not always be free of consequences.
