Is the school required to serve student beyond age of 17 in south carolina?

No, South Carolina public schools are not required to serve students beyond the age of 17 unless they meet specific exceptions outlined in state law. The compulsory attendance age in South Carolina is until age 16 or completion of the 10th grade, whichever comes later. Students may attend school beyond age 16, but the school district is not obligated to provide education to students beyond that age unless they have an individualized education program (IEP) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
