Less electives is BETTER.
I know whole bunch of kids who took just the minimal required classes in high school, and filled up their schedule with workshop, drama and art not because they were interested in it, but because these were 'easy classes'.

Ever wondered why American k-12 is laughed at across the world? I'll tell you why -- cuz while in 10th grade i was required to take Organic Chemestry, Calculus and others back in Russia, many kids in US took workshop. I'm not trying to say 'look how smart I am', all I'm saying is -- kids are lazy, most want to take easy classes, but yet they have to be force fed certain quota of knowlige.
