I think you guys are blessed. When I was a kid there were no AP classes at my private school, I was denied the ability to check out more than a limited number of books, and colleges laughed at the idea of accepting a high school student. I slept through my math classes to the point that one day when i answered a question with my head on my desk the teacher said "don't talk in your sleep". I still won the state math competition and scored 800 on my SAT's, but had essentially no study skills from being bored for about 10 years. These are definitely not the dark ages, those are long past.
Why fight city hall? There is a lot out there to benefit from academically. Why push for boring test oriented AP courses? Try reading good books.
good luck, and take a break now and then and watch the sunset.
