Can you drop out of school if you are in the 9th grade and 16 years old?

Answer 1

In some states you can, but other states is age 18. You can't just stop attending classes though, because you can get into a lot of trouble. You will be sent to a special school, probably much different than your normal school. You need to get parent signature to drop out legally.

Answer 2

At any age once you graduate or get an HSED certificate. The problem with getting no degree is that even McDonald's won't hire you. With an HSED you can at least get into the military. WIthout that your life will really really suck.

Answer 3

This would depend on the ages of compulsory education in the student's state. Some states require that a student attend school (or other means of education, such as home schooling) until the age of 18, while other states may have a different cut-off. Similarly, the minimum age for required education, the age at which a child must start attending school, can vary.
