Medium regulationThe best 7th grade homeschool curriculum in New Mexico is not one universal brand. It is the program that fits your child’s level, your parent bandwidth, and the legal basics you still need to track in New Mexico.
7th grade usually needs a strong daily rhythm around pre-algebra readiness, structured writing, literature discussion, science, history, and study skills. Then compare that with New Mexico's required-subject summary: Reading, Language arts, Math, Social studies, Science.
Moderate to broad. Families choose their curriculum, but the HSLDA source says they should cover reading, language arts, math, social studies, and science.
New Mexico appears to expect parents to keep immunization records. Families should also keep copies of their homeschool notices, attendance records, course lists, work samples, and high school transcripts, especially because the official state page was unavailable during source review.
The available raw sources reviewed here do not show a general statewide testing requirement for independent homeschoolers.
These internal links connect curriculum, schedule, special-needs, testing, and state-law pages so parents can move from a search question to the legal checklist without starting over.

Reading, Language arts, Math, Social studies, Science
Only if it fits your child and your schedule. Many families do better starting with math and language arts, then adding science, history, and enrichment once the routine works.
This guide is useful only if it sits on top of the actual New Mexico homeschool requirements. Review the state law hub before buying curriculum, changing schools, or setting deadlines.
