For high schoolers, it's up to the parents most of the time to ensure their children get the credit necessary. I always personally was with my children when they met with the school counselor. I always mentioned AP, CLEP, DSST, and others that they could take while in school. Before the last one graduated in the 2018 year I pushed them to be ahead of their peers and it works well.
I have given talks at my kid's school and have even discussed this with students. There is just a general lack of interest and we have UAF and they also accept allot of ACE here. The universities and colleges don't have an incentive at all since they figure they will lose money.
If the parents have not taken the time to learn what has changed and what is available most high schoolers won't even begin to look. This is a culture problem in my opinion and most may think it is too much work. One of my sons and I will test out again next week but I am leading the way and showing them by example. I push, prod and try to motivate them with the idea of tremendous cost savings. they are collecting money and saving for their Masters so this helps me push them. This is coming from a Dad helping and pushing them each and every day.
P.S There are lurkers here that have used this to take action but will never say a word. They have their reasons and I can respect that.
