This is a question for those in the USA
What happens when the kid is not doing well in school? Do they make him/her repeat the same grade till he shows improvement?

I think it depends upon
a) how "not well", and
b) how good the local school board is.
For decades, we have suffered from
1) "social promotion" to keep a child with his/her class grade
2) attempts to dumb down standards rather than smarten up kids
3) accepting the notion that some/many people "can't be taught <x>"
4) not caring about local school standards when angry parents get involved
5) not
• notifying parents/guardians at the earliest possible time that a student is falling behind, and
• doing intensive work to get the child back on track
6) allowing Texas to set the tone for school textbooks
7) allowing local control of how curricular standards are met
8) allowing home schooling
9) continuing to use non-subject-specialist teachers in K-5
