Yes, if you are of school age. The age varies from state to state, but most require you to be at least 16 and have parental permission before you can drop out.

The Supreme Court of the US has for the most part enforced the laws throughout the US. There have been specific rulings regarding the state laws and some adjustments have been required. One ruling allowed parents to select the education a child receives and lets them send their children to private schools or even home school them. The other is that these alternative education providers can be made to meet the same requirements as other state schools, the law applies to all education institutes.

And despite what many children would say, the law does not conflict with the 13th Amendment that banned Slavery and Involuntary Servitude.

In most regions, parents are legally required to ensure their children attend school up to a certain age. Failure to comply with these laws can result in penalties for the parents, such as fines or legal consequences.

Unless you are enrolling them in your own school and are getting a Home-Educator license, then no. If not, then it is illegal for to not be getting any education at all.

It is required that children regularly attend kindergarten up until (depending on the states law) they are of legal age to drop out if they wish to.
