A lot of people probably wonder if dual enrollment is worth it over APs. I'll add my take here as someone who took APs and dual enrollment.

Let's start with some definitions.

1. AP = Advanced Placement. These are high school classes that cover over college curriculum at a high school pace. 
2. CC = Community College. These are classes that are offered at a 2-year institution. They cover high school curriculum at a college pace.
3. DE = Dual Enrollment. These are college classes offered at a 4-year institution. They cover college curriculum at a college pace.

Let's cut to the chase.

My take experience & prestige-wise: CC <<<<<<<<<< AP < DE.

Community College: Do not.

As I said earlier, it is high school curriculum at a college pace. You generally don't learn a lot. Engineering without calc, no calc statistics, no OS/network cybersec, programming classes w/o data structures as prereq, etc. You won't learn a lot in these classes and not many schools consider them as legit. It is lowkey high school curriculum. 

Community college has bad rep. Do not just ignore the stigma. Even if it is dual enrollment, it will still get associated with negative rep-though maybe only DE students will. Many people think negatively towards CC due to experience & not just to pass around strings for prestige wars. My experience in particular is that CC students at my high school tend to be that their knowledge translates to very little real world workability. I will not list out any names, but I do not have the strongest impression of CC students.

If you have time for a CC class, just sign up for an DE class instead. They're way more worthwhile & can actually transfer to pretty decent schools (such as UIUC). If your school doesn't have DEs, just do a AP class instead. Being more well rounded is better than a weak spike. 

If CC classes are the only thing your school offers (no APs), then maybe. It might be worthwhile in that case.

APs

As a DE heavy guy, I might be biased towards APs. But anyways, here is my take. APs are a great way to be more well rounded. If you're not sure what you want to major in, it'll be great. You can explore psychology, computer science, statistics, etc etc. The other great thing about APs is that they are significantly more challenging than a high school course. High school courses are generally way to easy and if you're school offers a lot of APs, non-APs are usually where the less intelligent side of high school go to. If you want to keep in touch with the smarter community, make sure to take at least 2 of them a year, otherwise you'll lose in touch with them (I know this from experience).

APs have a great reputation. People think positively when they see students taking APs. It is a cutoff for smart students. Here's the catch: everyone does APs. To be "good", you'll want 13+ APs. something like (2, 3, 4, 4). To be "excellent", you will need A LOT. Generally, people start becoming amazed when they see like 20+, which is... a lot of APs. It is hard to hit excellent with APs, and they don't have a significant impact on college applications & learning, so it's rather hard for me to recommend.

Prestige aside, here is my recommendations on APs.

Critical APs (take these at least once -even if you fail. YOU WILL WISH YOU DID IN COLLEGE):

Calc BC, Physics C

(these APs are probably hard reqs at MIT)

Important: AP Chem, AP CSA

Anything else is optional.

DEs

Well, DEs are sort of where the prestige/clout farming is. The reason being is that you directly declare war on college students and ask yourself to be compared with them. The moment you hit MVC/Calc3 + LinAlg, you are truly 1 year ahead in math. The moment you hit real analysis, you are truly 2 years ahead. In a sense, you are equivalent to a 2nd year college student at a young age.

In my experience, DE tends to be something that holds weight past high school (unlike APs). Going by my record of all undergraduate CS classes at junior year of high school, professors seemed to be genuinely impressed. My college friends are impressed as well, even those that go to strong schools and place into strong companies. Bachelors @19 is not something to joke about, ig.

My take on DE - If you know what you want to do, and you don't want to wait for it, go for it. It's a thrilling process with tons of benefits compared to high school. Of course, there are a lot of drawbacks as well, but I personally found those drawbacks minimal compared to the benefits.
