What are the preferred teachers to write recommendation letters?

I saw comments somewhere saying English and Math teachers are the preferred teachers. My daughter goes to a public school, her 11th grade English teacher (AP Lang) only writes letters for 20 people and she was not able to get it. She is planning to ask her French teacher to write one. Will this hurt her application?
I heard that it is much easier to get what you want in private schools. For public schools that have hundreds of students and low teacher/student ratio, this is a huge disadvantage. Do colleges consider this?
