@BPro agree- have a source?
Our district (very large 6A, super competitive) is a heavy AP district, DC isn’t even offered until senior year. The Top 6-10%ers absolutely take AP over DC.
Our 4.0 district weighs:
AP 5 pts, DC 4.5, Academic 4 pts.
DC is thru Houston Community College, AP provides far more consistent rigor.

Mays prefers AP over DC, especially for Stats. Those that come in with AP Stats do fine with taking Bus Stats vs those that took DC or didn’t take Stats at all.

Dual Credit definitely isn’t consistent, on an even playing field; some are taught truly as a college class, while many are laughably easy.
