Whether something is too stressful is entirely subjective; what may be fine with one person would crush another. Only you can answer the question.
We didn't have AP classes in my high school (and my kids are tiny tots), but I took mostly college classes in high school and was very active in extracurriculars. I was fine and glad to escape the killer boredom I had been experiencing. It probably helped that I did see it as an escape and didn't enter into it with dread. If you are truly concerned you are taking on too much, perhaps you need to reconsider your schedule.
Either way, good luck. It sounds like you will be more prepared for college than those with a lighter load.
