Very few decisions we make about children are more important than recommendations to promote or to retain a student.  Most students will be able to follow the school’s regular program of sequential learning objectives.  If the student successfully achieves the year’s objectives, the student progresses to the next grade.

Testing, diagnosis, and actual performance, however, may indicate that some students cannot follow the school’s complete course of study.  Therefore, the decision to retain a student indicates that although the school has done everything to help the student achieve success, the student has not made satisfactory progress.
