Check out megaanalysis by, I think, Mary Lee Smith. At any rate, it was done out of the University of Colorado and the stats hold true even for early retentions.

At the upper grades the effects can be worse. That is what I remember from what I've read in the past. Could be wrong, though so I will try to do a google search and see if I can find anything for you. Elisa Elisa Waingort Grade 2 Spanish Bilingual Dalhousie Elementary Calgary, Canada I'd like to know what the research has to say about EARLY retention. I've personally seen quite a few successes with retaining kinders and 1st graders (age/maturity being main issue). Does anyone know of any age related research on retention? Just wondering.
