I screwed up in chemistry, where I used to have an A, but after the start on November, I began to struggle with it. The teacher that teaches us did and still does a poor job at teaching and assumes that we know everything. We were given a test today, and all the stuff on it was stuff we haven't even learned how to do,all thanks to his poor teaching. I have thought of ideas on what to do, stay in this class and hire a tutor, or drop this class to be in a lower, easier chemistry class. Any ideas would help please. Can you give me an idea on what to do?

This chemistry class is a mix of Honors and AP. I want to get out of this class to be placed in a CP class.

BTW, I live in Indio, California and does anyone know where I can find a tutor around Indio?

Try to have a meeting with your teacher and explain to him any difficulties you are having with the subject. Sometimes they will give extra lessons for the whole class ( if all of them feel the same way). It really is only a matter of asking the teacher. If you can manage the level then with the teacher's help and also extra help from tutor or fellow student then try to continue.
If you think you haven't grasp the major concepts and you feel you are suffering, going to the lower class should help prepare you for the return to the next level after that. It depends on how well you think you are doing.

You don't say if others in the class are having a difficult time as well. Before dropping the class I would suggest that you form a group of a few of your classmates that can get together and study as a group. If the entire group were to show up before or after school in the teacher's room showing a genuine interest in learning, the teacher might be compelled to put forth the effort to give some extra explanation. In fact the teacher might see it as a compliment that students actually wanted to learn. Give it a try before spending the money on a tutor or dropping the class. Good luck.

Stick with it. Get a tutor. Get it overwith. Once it's over, its over. Don't give up. Get a tutor.
