Patterns of Aggregate Grade-Retention Rates.

Morris, Don R.

American Educational Research Journal, v30 n3 p497-514 Fall 1993

Aggregate data on grade-retention rates for grades 1 through 12 from 12 American states for 1979-80 and 11 for 1985-86 were examined for across-grade patterns. A negative growth exponential model appears to capture a basic underlying pattern of grade retention rates. (SLD)
