Since no one else has answered your question I will attempt to
give you an answer. No child left behind does not refer to
retaining students.

It is a broader idea of not leaving children behind in life
because they do not have the basic skills for success.

There could be more than one reason a chld has received the
best grades this year. Did she receive some of her
instruction from a special or support teacher. I had students
this year who received better grades than they had in past
years. They were not always doing regular fourth grade
classroom work. Some were doing third grade work and some
were even lower.
