Question: Does a 17 year old need the consent of a parent to drop out of school and is it legal to simply leave once you reach 17?
Answer: According to Arizona Law (ARS 15-803), you are only required to attend school between the ages of 6-16. Once you turn 17, you are no longer considered a "truant child" if you miss school. However, keep in mind that career options are severely limited for those who drop out of High School and it's best to finish your degree and even continue on to college.
