You are fine as you filed the i130 in 2016. Once you receive noa1, your wife can stop going to school at any time. You filed the AOS package while she is in legal status so once accepted she will be in a sort of floating status until the AOS is processed. No worries

Most likely when she is granted permanent residence.  I have one for you.  Does she like school?  Does she want to finish?  If so and it is doable, why not let her finish?  I'm a Naturalized American born in Canada.  I went back to school here (initially as a green card holder) and finished up with a Bachelor's Degree in Business in my early 50s in 2014.  Worked and went to school off and on since the early 90s.  

 

I'm all for higher education.  To me it's just not a matter of when one can stop going to school after gaining permanent residency but do I want to?  

 

The good news is that once your wife becomes a permanent resident, she becomes eligible for federal and state financial aid and instate tuition if she is attending an instate school.

 

my thoughts to you sir:  If she wants to continue going to school and it will get her somewhere where she wants to be and she is happy with that decision-let her.

I think in general, no-one wants to pay out-of-state tuition,  it's simply to freaking high.

It's always better to finish a degree. For now, she can just sign up for one class per semester until she's eligible for in-state tuition. And she can work a job until graduation.
