How many people actually take multivariable calc in high school?

My daughter took multivariable at a local college. Perhaps 1-2 kids per year at her large-ish high school arrange to do this. I’m curious whether any public high schools other than magnet programs are able to offer this. Our school is large and has some advanced STEM students but we simply don’t have the student body (would need at least 10 kids to offer the class) necessary to offer something like this. Not sure the administration would be willing to do it even if we did have the required number of kids. They don’t teach Physics C, and we do have the kids for that.
