In answer to your AP/IB question, both are highly valuable, but will not affect your chances of getting into college if you don't have them. However, the college credit gained from AP or HL IB classes is considered to be worth it by many people. In my opinion, it is not worth it to take IB classes unless you are completing the full two-year diploma program.
Some states have virtual schools that offer AP classes, but I haven't heard of them offering IB classes. You could always self-study for the AP tests and take them at a nearby school that offers them (talk to your counselor about that). If you decide to do this I would recommend the website Fiveable; they have great explanations of the exact specifications for each AP test.
Good luck :)
