HS student taking classes at community college?

<p>hello, please help me out!
background info: I'm a junior
so at our school, they do not allow us to take AP Bio until senior year, and there aren't any other AP sciences available.
a college counselor has mentioned that I should definitely take BIO at a community college over the summer so that by application time, they can see a grade for AP Bio.
she also said that since my school does not offer calculus BC, i should take Calculus II at the community college as well</p>

<p>on the other hand, other people are saying that it is unnecessary.</p>

<p>I am so confused and I would greatly appreciate your advice!!
Thank you.</p>

<p>Is it common for students from your high school to take classes at that community college? If not, and if you are happy to take what is available at your HS, it is OK to just roll with what is available.</p>
