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

I am having trouble deciding whether or not I should drop AP Seminar at semester.

Here are the pros:

most likely a guaranteed A second semester due to teacher not being able to grade/give feedback to tasks (the classwork would be agency points)

Here are the cons:

my teacher does not know what she is doing

she insists that we are doing amazing on our practice tasks but gives us grades of Cs or lower

she just told us she will be teaching the 2nd performance task during 2nd semester, which is when we are supposed to have all the time to work on our tasks

she hasn’t even given us the full stimulus packet

I would rather not pay $140 to fail the exam

I currently have a 90% in the class, but my grade will drop to a B for sure.

I have already dropped AP Bio earlier this semester so I do not really want to drop another AP class, but this class is horrendous.

I have already talked to my guidance counselor, who spoke with my AP Seminar teacher, and not much has changed.

Any advice is appreciated.
