Taking a intro physics class at a local CC before AP Physics C E&M a good idea?

We don’t have any intro physics classes at my HS so Physics C is the first class we can take. Everyone says that physics is really hard and I don’t know if I can do well in the class. I was wondering if it would be worth my time to take a intro physics class online through a local CC. Has anyone tried this approach?

Also I am taking Stat(H) this year and i was thinking about taking a stats class at my local CC also and self studying for AP. Im not sure if my school would allow this though because nobody has really self studied at my high school before-I go to a small school.

Realized I posted this really late so…bump…
