Document Number: 5098 Ending Social Promotion: The Effects of Retention - This report examines whether retention had a positive impact on students’ achievement growth. The authors found little evidence that low-performing 3rd-grade students who were retained did better than their counterparts who were promoted. At the 6th-grade level, the study says retention was detrimental to student achievement growth. The report represents the culmination of a six-year study on Chicago's efforts to end social promotion. (Jenny Nagaoka and Melissa Roderick, Consortium on Chicago School Research, March 2004)...Related Issues Promotion/Retention |
