Didn't take calculus in high school and now I feel behind...

I didn’t take any calculus in high school. I took algebra 1 in 8th grade, geometry freshman year, algebra 2 sophomore year, and then took AP stats junior year and no math class at all senior year of high school, and then during placement tests for college I tested into calculus. I didn’t think anything of it, but now that I am almost two months in and feeling really behind I am starting to realize that maybe I should not be in this class since I had no knowledge of calculus whatsoever before this year? Do most people take calculus in high school? Everyone else in my class seems like they know what they are doing right when we begin to cover new material, almost like they have already learned it before in high school. Does this mean I am in the wrong class, and what should I do about it now?
