A 15 year old can not drop out of school!. You are not allowed to take the GED until you normal grade would be graduating from high school. Indiana has set a mandatory education age until 16. You must be at least 16 in order to drop out of school. Please note that the unemployment rate for high school drop outs runs over 50% or higher in the current economy.

What is the legal age to drop out of high school in Iowa?

You can drop out at the age of 16, however, they have the right to suspend your driving privileges until you complete school or turn 18. However you REALLY need to think this through. I know things may seem difficult but they do get better, I promise. You will permanently affect the rest of your life with this choice. You cannot get good jobs, attend college, even enlist in the military if you have dropped out and not obtained your GED. The new GED test is VERY difficult. Talk to your parents or a counselor before you make such a monumental decision. Only children who are at least 16 years of age before September 15 may drop out during that school year. A child whose 16th birthday is on or after September 15 must attend school that entire school year. Iowa Code section 299.1A.

How many people drop out of high school every year?

Too many. It varies year after year. People sometimes drop out of school because they want a change or they just want to try something new, or they have something in mind that they want to pursue or complete a certain goal. Other reasons can be for not enough subject choices, or to follow what their friends are doing. I feel however, it is important to do what you believe in and not what others make you feel, because it is your life your living and they can only be a part of it.
