This paper uses administrative longitudinal micro data on Junior High school students in Uruguay to
measure the effect of grade failure on students’ subsequent school outcomes. Exploiting the
discontinuity induced by a rule establishing automatic grade failure for pupils with more than three
failed subjects, I show that grade failure leads to substantial drop-out and lower educational attainment
even four to five years after grade failure first occurred.
