Legal age to dropout
What is the legal age to drop out of high school in nyc?
Re: Legal age to dropout
New York Education Law (Chapter 16 of the Consolidated Laws, Title IV, Article 65, Part I, Section 3205) says minors between the ages of 6 and 16 must attend school on a full time basis.
If you turn 16 during the school year you have to finish out the term.
Hope that answers your question.
