How do colleges view honors classes? If I take mostly honors classes and 1 AP as a junior, do they see me as not challenging myself?

My son’s high school has prerequisites for every honors and AP course so while they offer something like 23 AP classes, they are not open to all students. If he wants to be in an honors course, he has to have a minimum of an A in the previous course. Same with an AP class. They don’t let students sign up for whatever they want. Students are not allowed to sign up for what they want and then drop down to easier courses.
