You will want to complete at least precalculus in high school. Precalculus in college would be a remedial course.

For the LSAT and law, you will likely find that more practice thinking mathematically and logically (i.e. taking more math courses) will help. The major groups with the top scores on the LSAT are math/physics, economics, philosophy/theology, international relations, and engineering.

Statistics is generally useful knowledge to have. However, if you have calculus, you may be able to take a more in-depth statistics course in college (which may be required for some majors). But AP statistics is certainly better than nothing.
