Should I drop APUSH?

I'm taking 5 APs this year: APUSH, AP Calculus AB, AP Lang, AP Computer Science Principles, and AP Physics 1. The workload in APUSH has been overwhelming and I cannot finish the coursework in time because it is so much and it's also preventing me from doing work in my other AP classes (because APUSH takes up almost all of my time) and doing extracurricular activities. I'm considering dropping APUSH because I'm worried about my grades in other classes decreasing due to the fact that I strongly focus my energy on doing APUSH work.

Drop APUSH, but as I'm sure you're aware, make sure you still meet graduation requirements for your school, for example if 3 years of US history are required regardless of course level, swap it for a lower-level history course.
