Best Answer

Compulsory school attendance laws are enacted by the individuals states. All states have such laws, and most states enacted these laws in the late 1800s to early 1900s


Massachusetts was the first state to enact compulsory school attendance laws in 1852, and Alaska was the last "state" in 1929.


It should be noted that compulsory school attendance laws were enacted while many of the states were still territories (i.e. before they gained actual statehood).
