I repeated a grade due to my dyscalculia. I was 2 or 3 years behind in maths because before HS no one bothered to give me the proper help and support my school just didn't care so my second year of HS I wasn't done with grade 9 math. In HS I had a lovely principal though who was very willing to help out with the old math I had left and with the proper support I could finish off all that math in 2 weeks, I was already done with everything else so it was full focus on math and I got a great teacher who was good at explaining very clearly but then my last year I got no proper support again for the HS-math but I could've graduated anyway I just chose to repeat a grade only for the year of math I had left so I could complete it. Felt pretty useless to celebrate graduation with one subject missing. Only reason I regret it is I didn't graduate with my class due to that decision but that's not a huge deal really. To me grades were more important.
Here is a question relating to when you went to school
