Kindergarten Retention: Academic and Behavioral Outcomes through the End of Second Grade.

Peer reviewed

Mantzicopoulos, Panayota; Morrison, Delmont – American Educational Research Journal, 1992

The impact of retention in kindergarten on academic achievement and behavior was studied for 53 retained children and 53 matched promoted peers. The academic advantages indicated in the second year of kindergarten were not maintained past kindergarten. Results do not support retention as an effective policy for young children. (SLD)
