Retaking community college physics courses from HS?

While in high school, I took Physics I & II at a local community college and received As in both. (To clarify, this was not accomplished through my high school, all of my peers were college students, and my professors had postgraduate degrees in physics.) To be competitive for T20 schools, do I need to retake these classes at my four-year institution?

I also took an introductory major-level biology course at the community college, though I am less concerned about that as I'll have a lot of upper-level biology coursework at my current school by the time I apply—does this sound like a fair perspective?

Thanks!

School specific: if you have done really well in the rest of the Pre-reqs at a 4 year, taking physics at a CC won’t matter. Get MSAR and look at the course requirements, look on school websites as well. Even amongst ‘T20’ it is so greatly varied on who wants and takes what.

Sounds good. Thank you both for your help!
