Do I need to worry about AP if the school I am going to didn’t offer any AP or offer only a few AP?

Please see this thread:

Strategy when School does not have APs

Hoping to get some advice on APs. My daughter attends a school with no AP certified classes, which means the kids need to self study and take the exam. With the school already being rigorous, I don’t want her to overload herself but realize that APs might be important for college admission. I have heard of PS kids taking double digit AP classes and colleges know that some boarding schools do not offer them, but my gut is telling me that she needs to pursue. I am trying to guide my daughter as she is mid-way through her first year and is trying to determine how to map out her next 3.5 years. I already asked her advisor and didn’t come away from the conversation with a clear understanding of what she should aspire to. I am particularly interested in knowing how many and if there are some that are better than others from an admissions perspective. TIA!
