Your course rigor is evaluated against what your school had to offer. If the school doesn’t offer many APs, that won’t be held against you. That said, you are expected to challenge yourself even if the school doesn’t offer advanced classes. You don’t need to demonstrate that by taking additional AP courses on-line, although you can if you want to. You could also demonstrate the rigor through research, self-study, an internship, tutoring students in subjects you excel at, doing independent study with a teacher, etc…Or by doing something different entirely and demonstrating that you can excel in more than one area - whatever ECs you care about.
