My son took third level French as a freshman in high school, spent his sophomore year in France in a French public high school, came back to AP French and scored over 700 on the SATII and IIRC a 5 on the AP exam.

So - not a native speaker, but substantially more background than a few years of high school language classes. He will tell you that he “speaks French like a kindergartener.” But he did go on to university and placed into the university’s third level and aced the course as the only freshman and the only A in the class.
