does it look impressive on a college application, with them knowing that my school does not offer these classes?

No. AP scores carry little to no weight in the admissions process. Colleges will expect you to maximize the opportunities within your curriculum, not expect you to seek out things that do not exist at your school.

FWIW, many high schools do not offer AP courses for a variety of reasons. These high schools span the spectrum from low-SES public schools to elite boarding schools. Each year, applicants from these schools manage to get into top colleges.
