In an era of increased accountability for student learning, administrators and teachers are forced to address the needs of struggling students. Grade retention is used as a practice to help low-performing students overcome their academic deficits. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of grade retention on student achievement. The goal of this study was to determine whether there was a significant difference in the growth performance scores and EVAAS predicted scores of sixth grade students retained in early grades first through third as compared to students retained in later grades fourth through sixth utilizing the NC End-of-Grade Tests in reading and mathematics. Separate Fisher's exact tests for reading and mathematics were used to determine the frequency of distribution of student growth performance scores in these subjects as measured by the within and/or above expectations versus below expectations categories from the NC ABCs model to compare early retainees and later retainees to see if the relationship of performance to category of retention differed more than expected by chance. Also, separate Fisher's exact tests for reading and mathematics were conducted to examine the frequency of distribution of student growth scores in these subjects as measured by the below expectation versus within or above expectations categories from the EVAAS predicted scores to compared early retainees and later retainees to see if the relationship of performance to category of retention differed more than expected by chance. According to these findings in this study, when examining academic change scores for reading and mathematics a significant relationship does not exist between the growth performance of early and later retainees. When examining EVAAS predicated scores, it was also indicated that a significant relationship does not exist between the growth performance of early and later retainees. However, the data did indicate that a higher percentage of later retainees met and/or scored above expectations in reading when compared to the early retainees.

Download The Effects of Early Grade Retention on Student Outcomes Over Time Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A growing number of American states and school districts require students to meet basic performance standards in core academic subjects at key transition points in order to be promoted to the next grade. We exploit a discontinuity in the probability of third grade retention under a Florida test-based promotion policy to study the causal effect of retention on student outcomes over time. Regression discontinuity estimates indicate large short-term gains in achievement among retained students and a sharp reduction in the probability of retention in subsequent years. The achievement gains from retention fade out gradually over time, however, and are statistically insignificant after six years. Despite this fade out, our results suggest that previous evidence that early retention leads to adverse academic outcomes is misleading due to unobserved differences between retained and promoted students. They also imply that the educational and opportunity costs associated with retaining a student in the early grades are substantially less than a full year of per pupil spending and foregone earnings. (Contains 10 figures, 11 tables, and 19 footnotes.).

Download The Effects of Grade-level Retention in the Early Grades Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Policies are increasing the pressure for students to gain grade-level mastery. For example, federal legislation mandates that all children are able to read by third grade. This increased demand on teachers and schools has lead to more students being retained, especially in the early grades. Researchers have studied the effectiveness of retention, in the early elementary grades, in order to establish the immediate and later effects on academics, behavior development, and special education participation. Through an extensive search and analysis it was determined that retention has a largely negligible impact on student performance and has been unsuccessful in closing the achievement gap. Implications, limitations, and future research are discussed.
