I bet the issue is not necessarily a lack of interest, more likely a lack of exposure. There arent many (successful) programmers willing to work on a teacher's salary when they can probably make 3 or 4 times that elsewhere in industry. I didnt even have the option to take AP computer science in high school, I imagine thats due to the lack of teachers, and that situation is probably pretty similar around the country
