Second time I’ve tried to post this, I hope you guys are better at responding

I’m a student at an extremely small rural public school in New York State
Seriously, there are 60 kids in my grade. Most of them don’t do so well in school, so there are about four different kinds of special help classes, but no AP classes or honors classes.

I started taking high school math and science when I was in 8th grade, but after that my options are limited. To be advanced I have to chose either:

1) Spend my senior year at the local community college and be a dual-enrollment student. ($$$$)

2) Take online AP classes. ($$$)

3)Take IB classes online through Albany High’ s IB program ($) :)

The online IB diploma is a new pilot program next year- so this is kind of a big" maybe", but my guidance counselor is trying to get it to work. Plus I am super passionate about the program, because my major is gonna be education.

Which of these options do you think is most likely to help me get into a top college? My school will support them all, because they like it when they get an ambitious kid every blue moon.
