When did it become legal to drop out at 16 years old in the U.S?

I know way back in history some didn't go to high school, they just finished grade school and some didn't even go to school. What year did it become legal for 16 year olds to drop out?
Additional Details
I graduated from high school already and I'm currently going to college. I just always wondered when did this become legal.

I think it was the 70's or 80's when they are allowed to drop out at age 16. But if they can start college at an early level at 16, then I think they also have the right to drop out.

VIVA LA RAZA!

I have no idea when it became legal but I know there were a lot of dropouts when I went to high school. This was in the 70`s.

Drop outs provide nothing to society but poverty, crime and a rag tag of illegitimate brats running around, continuing the the failures of their parents.
