Wanting to know why it is such a small number was part of the reason why I asked in the first place.

IMO, it gets back to my earlier comment - what’s the rush? The kid is going to be spending the next 40+ years in some combination of further education/workforce. Why not take advantage of the full 4 years? As others have noted, the AP credits can then allow the students to explore an additional subject in depth and/or study a broader selection of subjects. Additionally, there’s the social aspect/networking aspect at play.
