A 1730 superstore is simply not a good enough score to be worthy of being the 3rd best score in a class. For example, I went to a private school where half of my class got over 1500/1600 (not superscoring). That’s a pretty strong indicator that there is a big difference between the academic level of students at a school like the one I went to and one like the one you go to.

For APs, no one ever got a 3 on an AP exam (at least if they did - I certainly never heard about it because it was considered to be a really bad score. At my school it was expected that you got 5s in anything you were interested in, and 4 was ok if it wasn’t your area of interest).

You’re going to be in classes with people like that and everywhere in between. At most colleges you’ll have to compete with people like that for As. You definitely don’t want to make the transition to college any harder than it already will be.
