Is my school schedule too hard, too easy, or is it alright?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

Hello! I am a high school freshman and I am planning for my sophomore year next year. I am planning on taking the following courses next year but am looking for any classes that you guys think I should change out of:

AP Human Geography
AP Biology
AP Computer Science
Precalculus
Honors LA (10th grade)
Spanish 3

I don’t really have any alternatives for the bottom 3 courses, but I am hoping for any suggestions, tips, assurances or any sort of opinions about the AP courses that I am thinking about taking next year. I typically excel in classes that challenge me and I score in the 99th percentile on nationally and statewide standardized tests for my age group, including the SAT, but I am wondering if taking these 3 AP courses as a sophomore will be too challenging.

Instead of AP Human Geo I can take AP European History.
Instead of AP Biology, I can take chemistry or AP chemistry
Instead of AP computer science I can take basically any course, as it’s my elective spot.

My classes I took last year:

PE/Ceramics
Algebra 2
Honors LA (9th grade)
Biology
Spanish 2
Honors World History

At my school last year, there was no honors for Biology or Algebra 2 but I would’ve taken them if they’d existed.

As for my background on computer science, I know many programming languages and have been learning computer science for the last few years. I’m pretty good at the more simpler languages like PHP, Javascript, etc.

Any help would be amazing and greatly appreciated. Thanks!

All the classes look good, except for AP Biology. I would save that for senior year and take chemistry instead. Double up on physics and AP Chem Junior year (or do bio and physics senior).

I don’t think its that big of a deal taking AP Bio. I know a sophomore in it, and he loves it. However, AP Euro might look better than Human Geo. If you are really interested in Human, then I would take it. However, a history course would probably look better. Although, it would be more work. So in that case maybe you could take chem instead of AP Bio? It’s up to you.

Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it! I still have a little while before I have to make my decision but I will definitely take you guy’s ideas into consideration.
