Grade Retention and School Adjustment: An Explanatory Analysis.
Reynolds, Arthur J.
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v14 n2 p101-21 Sum 1992
Studied effects at grade 4 of early grade retention for 1,255 low-income mostly African-American children (20.4 percent had been retained from kindergarten to grade 3). Retention negatively affected cognitive reading and mathematics achievement, had no relation to teacher ratings of school adjustment, and positively affected children's perceived school competence.
