In FL, the state schools will accept both credits earned at local college and APs (S would have entered as junior). CMU offered him a full year of credit. Other schools offered chance to have advanced placement. Where he matriculated, nothing was offered. They gave their own tests, and S only passed out of one class.

So, from my experience, the credits offered paralled the safety/match/reach level of colleges that he applied to.

PS. School paid for 5 classes a year at local college, as long as the HS did not offer the class (e.g. advanced math, Latin, econ, etc)
