High school transcript for kids who repeated a grade?

An AO told us in one interview that if DD repeated 10th and eventually graduated from that school, her transcript would not include the year of 10th she did at her current school. At least, I think that’s what the AO said. It was almost like an offhand comment and my husband immediately asked her something else right after, before I could even register what she said. Is this the case for kids who repeat any year? How can a full year of grades not be on her overall transcript? Wouldn’t colleges question the chronological progression when they see a empty year? I’m assuming the transcript shows the actual year attended per grade? I ask because DD is taking several AP level courses this year as a 10th grader and will take the corresponding AP exams in May. We would want that on her record, as well as the grades she achieved in her classes this year. If she chooses to repeat 10th, it has more to do with her age (she is young for 10th) and other factors, which I think could be explained easily to colleges? What did your kid’s transcript reflect when they graduated, if they repeated a year? Both years of that particular grade or just the one done in the school they ended up graduating from?
