A "dropout" is a person who leaves school, college, or a program before finishing it - like a "high school dropout" who didn't complete their diploma. This is the most common meaning, and it's often used a bit negatively, though many successful people were also dropouts. "Dropout" can also describe a technical problem where something suddenly and briefly stops working, like a "signal dropout" when a phone call suddenly cuts out.
