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.
