Will colleges care if I fail one class on my transcript?
Will colleges care if I fail one class on my transcript if I make good grades in my other classes?
I have all of the credits I need to graduate high school. My Gpa is 3.8 and I'm doing good in all of my classes except for JROTC, I don't need to pass this class because I have enough credits, but will colleges care if I just fail this class, but I pass all of my others?

If you don't need the course see if you can drop it without academic penalty. I would only be worried if you did poorly G.P.A. wise in multiple courses.
The transcript is mainly to prove to them that you have a GED or diploma from high school and secondly that you have great grades in courses that relate to your program of choice.
Let's say you're applying for journalism for example. They would care that you have a good mark in history and every English course you ever took and knowledge of current events.
If you flopped in a writing course it would hurt you. If you stunk at a math course or something else it wouldn't matter all that much. It wouldn't cost you an interview nor a placement.
If you're passing everything else you're fine. If anyone ever asked (and they won't have the time) about a grade in a course tell them it was at an advanced level, you didn't need the course, found it too challenging and did your best. It won't come to that.
