Your parents get fined and you get grounded.

They will contact your parents and the school. If you are a habitual offender they can charge you with truancy and get you started with the juvenile court system who can impose restrictions and conditions on you. The school may suspend you which might sound like exactly what you want but that goes on your record. You may not be allowed to move to the next grade or graduate. You'll have to get a GED just to get an entry level job at McDonald's. So enjoy the time off now because you'll be paying for it for years.

truancy can lead to being put in out-of-home placement, which means if your parents cannot make you attend school, the county pulls the kid out of the home and puts them in a locked "county home school" which is basically a teen prison where you will go to school plus do hard work besides.
When truancy is an issue, the county gets involved as well as the school to remedy the situation.
What would actually happen to a child would depend on if they were absent from school dozens of days , or a few days, or if they were arrested for being absent only one time.
The police catching the kid will likely start the courts getting involved.

If there are truant laws in your area then you'd get yourself and parents involved in the court system.
The bigger question is why would you want to be an ignorant person. The education is free and it can only improve your life and chances of being a productive person.
Success stories from people without a HS education is rare. Why chance it. Unless you enjoy minimum wage jobs, living in crappy homes, and struggling day to day.

Short term: school will discipline you, parents will discipline you, and the state can either suspend your driver's license or driver's permit (if you have one) OR prevent you from getting your license until you turn 18.
Long term: Dead end jobs. Poverty. Unable to provide nice things for your husband/wife and your children.
Enjoy school now, because working for a living sucks. And if you ditch work --- FIRED.

Ok, this is streaching it but worst.
You can be detained, and the juv case worker do a home inspection, they find that your home life is the cause of your deliquent behavior and you are declared a deliquent by the Juv court. You are then set to Juv detention for a period of time.
will it happen, 99.999 percent it would not, but could it, yes.

The worst that could happen is that your parents might get called along with a fat ticket. But be careful your parents will grown you for a while.

Do you have parents or are you living on the streets where the police picked you up and detained you because they had no idea who you were? Did you escape from a juvenile or psychiatric facility?

If it happens too much, you could be booted from school and sent to juvenile hall, if under 16. If 16 or over, just booted from school.
