Schools that take AP credit vs Schools that don't?

Ok this is gonna sound like a weird and probably dumb question but today in class these two kids were debating whether or not colleges that accept a lot of Ap credit are as good as colleges that don’t accept a lot of credit. The “anti Ap” kid’s argument was basically that AP courses and tests don’t cover all the material thoroughly and truly to the college level and so schools that accept AP credit don’t teach you thoroughly and are not as good. The “for AP” kid’s argument was that schools that take lots of APs can allow you to get ahead and pursue what you really want, to which “anti AP” said that AP classes don’t actually prep you well enough so jumping ahead would make your classes miserable. Any thoughts on this? I can see where both sides are coming from, but is there a relationship between the acceptance of AP credit and the caliber of the school?
