Yes it is, this happens more often than you think. you can be pulled down a grade if your marks do not reach the required mark to pass on to the next grade. This only means you stay in the grade you are and redo another year. It isn't all bad, this is also another opportunity to learn more and be more ready to pass grade 12.
I think schools have a limit to what age you can be to stay in a school but you can definitely stay even if you are an adult.
