I dropped out of high school - I've never heard the phrase used in another context.
Over here you are not allowed to drop out of High School.................it is illegal. So, the expression would refer to someone who left High School and did not follow a tertiary education when they had adequate qualifications to do so.
OK, people complete their secondary education and then go onto the employment market, but that is not "dropping out"
