It's been awhile since I read the book but some of his fellow students from battle school were also promoted to help Ender with the battles.
Movies can never fully capture the best qualities of a particular book and I'm not surprised to hear they left out some key parts of it. It would of taken quite a bit longer film to do the book justice.
