It varies by state. In Illinois, Drivers Ed is required to graduate high school (exemptions for, e.g., visually impaired persons were not introduced until the 80s iirc). Illinois has some weird requirements for education. Except for the Chicago public school district, four years of P.E. is also required for graduation which really annoyed me because I would rather have had that time slot to take academic classes.

A lot of people would argue this is very good policy.
