In Pennsylvania how old do you have to be to drop out of high school?

Answer 1

For all schools in America the age is I believe 17 years or 18 years old. Graduating high school is really the best choice to make .. When your applying for a job they look at that .

In Pennsylvania, the law requires you to be at least 17 years old. However, if you have a full-time job during working hours at 16, you may get working papers and be able to drop out then.

Answer 2

The state's compulsory attendance law places the age at 17, with the permission of the student's parent(s) or legal guardian.

The student must be at least 17-years old and have the consent of the parent(s) or legal guardian.
