Answer
The state's compulsory education law allows the student to leave school at the age of 16 with the consent of the parent(s) or legal guardian.
The student must first finish the school year in which he/she turned 16.
Answer
I work in the public schools of New York City. Here, students need to be 18 to "sign themselves out" of school. But also, there are various programs, such as GED programs, that the kids pursue as an alternative to attending high school. Ask your guidance counselor.
