Do you know what you want to major in? If you want to do something in STEM, you should try to get help from someone, such as a tutor. If you’re interested more in the humanities, I don’t think it would be that big of a deal if you dropped down to a lower level class. However, there are many students in the same situation as you. For most high schools, it is standard for students to take algebra 1 in 9th grade and finish with pre-calculus in 12th grade. You’re not expected to enter college having a background in calculus, but many kids do take AP Calculus, or some other calculus class, in high school.
