Grade Retention is the practice of requiring low-performing students to repeat the same grade in order to master what has not been learned. Often, educators recommend grade retention because of a child’s severe academic underachievement. It is also sometimes proposed when a child has been absent from school for a prolonged period because of illness.

Retention is a complex and emotionally laden issue as it is the most common and immediate consequence for students who have not mastered grade level material. Many students do not see retention as a positive event designed to help them learn better nor do schools portray retention as a positive event. Parents, educators, and students view retention as a punishment and a stigma. Also, educators consistently underplay the extent of conflict with parents over the decision to retain and underestimate the degree of parents’ active resistance or passive but unhappy compliance. Research shows that first graders are retained more often. From second through sixth grade, retention rate decreases. They increase again in the seventh grade and at the high school level.
