Grade 13 no longer exists in Ontario. In any case, even when the fifth year existed, the students were not being held back at all. High school simply took five years to complete. Think of it like a post-grad year that some people take in prep schools. (Post graduate years now exist in a couple of private schools in Ontario, for students who might want to take extra courses or upgrade their skills) High school ends in Grade 12 now, just like every other province, excluding Quebec (their system, oddly enough is similar to the school system in the UK, with high school starting in Grade 7 and ending in Grade 11. This is followed by CEGEP, which when completed, is equivilant to the first year of university. Students with two years of CEGEP enter university with their first year credits completed).

It's not something I'd be proud of...you know, spending extra time in high shcool to...upgrade my skills.
