This may have changed in some schools since I was young. In grade school you could NOT be held back for any reason unless the parent agreed or wanted you to be held back.
Once you hit middle school that changed but it was rarely enforced unless you were almost graduation age.
[edit]
I remember only having 2 kids that were held back. 1 was a piece of shit bully and a complete moron. Eventually dropped out when he was ~20. The other was a girl that got knocked up when she was 16. Surprisingly she ended up graduating a year late.
For reference. I was in a small-ish public school (3 grades, each grade had around 300 students). Testing showed the school to be well above national average.
