Short answer: No. Long answer:
In NM, kids are required to have 23 credits to graduate:
English - 4
Mathematics - 3 (one must be Alg I or higher)
Science - 3 (one with lab component)
Social Science - 3 (World Hist & Geog, US Hist & Geog, Gov't & Econ.)
Phys Ed - 1
Communication or Business Education - 1
NM Hist - .5
Electives - 7.5
---
However, if my child were applying to a good university, this is what I'd make sure she had:
24 credits:
English - 4
Mathematics - 4 (three must be Alg I or higher)
Science – 4
Social Science - 3
Phys Ed - 1
Communication or Business Education - 1
NM Hist - .5
Fine Arts - 2
Foreign Language - 3 (in same language)
Electives - 1.5 |

If the child is in high school right now, the rules are a little different, BTW:
English - 4
Mathematics - 3 (one must be Alg I or higher)
Science - 2 (one with lab component)
Social Science - 3 (World Hist & Geog, US Hist & Geog, Gov't & Econ.)
Phys Ed - 1
Communication or Business Education - 1
Electives - 9
That's less science and no NM hist.

| I was wondering does anyone know if children who are homeschooled are eligible for the NM lottery scholarship? Or do you have to go to a state approved high school? |

| They are eligible. They would need to take the GED and enroll in a NM college the first regular semester, (Fall or Spring) following completion of the GED. Then they must maintain the GPA required, (I believe 2.5 or 3.0) to continue receiving it. |
