It all depends on where she wants to attend college. If she is not reaching for the Ivys or the Top 20 schools, you may have more flexibility. It’s best to contact prospective schools (or study their websites) and understand what they require vs. what they recommend for high school courses.

My D was accepted to OOS ranked public with 2 yrs Latin and 2 yrs Spanish, when the requirement was for 3 years of the same language. So sometimes there is flexibility. The more elite schools will have less flexibility.

I believe in studying what the student wants to learn, and choosing rigorous courses that interest her will show her passion as she applys to colleges.
