Not able to take any AP/advanced math classes?

I’m a graduating freshman and my courses this year included:

-Biology
-English honors
-Algebra I
-French
-Creative writing (elective)
-PE

My GPA for this year is 3.9 (non-weighted), and I know I can put the same work in as next year so I’m not worried with that. I’ve signed up for a few typical sophomore APs and I’ve enrolled in a summer program that will let me take honors geometry next year.

In elementary/middle I was relatively below average in school, meaning that I never applied to take Algebra I in 8th grade, instead taking regular Pre-Algebra. This was because I had pretty bad depression and didn’t get my act together until near the end of grade 8.

With the path that I’m on in math, I’ll have to take Algebra II honors in junior year, when I apply for college.

This has me concerned because I won’t have AP Calculus AB/BC on my transcript to show colleges in junior year, because I won’t qualify for that until I finish Algebra II.

Will a respectable college accept someone with average math courses?
