Land of the free pal. The law in most states require children to attend school until 16 - when they may quit with parental consent. Education is a right (formerly a privilege - but let's not even go there) and as any right the citizen is free to exercize that right or not.

Students have to go until they are 16.
If you know anything about that age, you should know that you can't force that age to finish school. They rebell. Some actually go and get their degree by taking the high school equivalency test. Some just drop out and unfortunately get in with gangs or criminals.
