Should I take APs even though my school doesn’t offer them?

No college will think that.

If your school offers no AP classes, no AP tests are expected. No admissions office is offering bonus points for self studying.

There may be valid reasons for taking the exams, primarily potential credit or placement. A foreign language AP may fulfill the college’s FL graduation requirement. But if you’re doing it to impress AO’s, they’re not impressed
