Description
This new edition of the Light’s Retention Scale includes over 300 quality research studies on school grade retention. An analysis of these studies produced 19 categories (factors to consider for possible retention), which include such areas as intelligence, mobility, physique, age, gender, participation of parents, preschool enrollment, student’s motivation, attendance, emotional disorders, conduct patterns, and other areas.

The documentation of research found in the LRS demonstrates that this is a Research–based Tool, as is required by the Response to Intervention (RtI) protocol.

Administration and Scoring
The LRS-5 Scale is an easy-to-use recording form designed to be completed during a parent-teacher conference and outlines each of the 19 factors that are rated on a 1-to-5 scale. The scale takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete, and the total score suggests whether or not grade retention might be more helpful or harmful to the child.

The LRS-5 Parent Guide explains the basis for your decision. It provides a concise statement of the important factors and reassures parents that your decision is based on thoughtful, professional findings. This Guide is also available in Spanish.

Also included is The Principal’s Guide to Grade Retention and Promotion. Includes: Preventing the Need to Retain, Alternatives to Retention, Screening Checklist to Identify at-risk Students, and Best Practices Checklist to evaluate student success in the retention year.
