This study compared the achievement and ability of a group of retained elementary students with that of a group of continually promoted elementary school students. The two samples were matched on the basis of gender, school entry reading achievement, grade, and regular school program. Short-term and long-term comparisons between the groups were made using Grade 1 Edmonton Public Schools’ Reading Comprehension Test scores, Grade 3 and Grade 6 Canadian Cognitive Ability Test (CCAT) scores, and Grade 6 subject matter achievement tests. The author concluded that grade retention was inef- fective for improving achievement and ability.
