Cause, high schools don't have homerooms - they have course classes.

If you don't receive enough class credits to move to the next grade (9 to 10, 10 to 11, etc), then the next school year you will still be classified at the lower of the two grades. This is why it's possible to be 20 and still be a high school freshman.

Well, if you don't earn enough credits from failing a certain number of courses than technically you repeat a grade because you have not earned a new status. For example if you need to complete say 30 credits your freshman year in order to "become" a sophomore, and you fail classes and only make 20, then you technically are still a freshman.

My friend did this.. she didn't earn enough "class credits" to be called a sophomore (grade 10), cause she flunked a couple classes our freshmen (9) year. She started the next year listed as a freshmen, took extra classes, and was a sophomore the next semester, and became a junior (11) with the rest of us at the end of the year.

You do not get promoted to the next grade level until you have obtained the proper number of credits. So yes if you do not complete the required classes in high school you will remain (repeat) in that school year until you have successfully completed it.

My high school had homerooms. You can be required to repeat classes that you failed, rather than repeating the entire year. It is possible to fail enough classes that they would make you repeat thewhole year.
