If he is 17 now you would claim him for the $500 Other Dependent Credit as he is not eligible for the Child Tax Credit since he is not UNDER 17 (16 or younger)
As for 2025, if he is still in school full time for at least 5 months of 2025, then yes, you would also claim him for the $500 Other Dependent Credit again next year if he continues to live with you after graduation (going away to college counts as living with you) and does not provide more than half of his own support.
