A report card is a measure of a student's performance. In most places, the report card is issued by the school to the student or the student's parents twice or four times yearly. A typical report card uses a grading scale to determine the quality of a student's school work. Throughout the United States, the grading scale consists of either letter grades: A, B, C, D, E, and F, with A being the best possible performance and an F being a failure; or numerical grades with A=90-100, B=80-89, C=70-79, D=60-69, and F=0-69. In some places the marking is different (for example, Canada) A=80-100, B=70-79, C=60-69, and R=0-49.

[edit] Progress Reports

Additionally, in the United States, progress reports are issued to track a student's performance in between report cards. They are typically issued at the midpoint of a grading period, (for example: 4 1/2 weeks into a 9 week grading period, or 3 weeks into a 6 week grading period) and contain essentially the same information as the report card. These reports allow students and their parents to see if school performance is slipping and if intervention is required to bring up the grade.

[edit] Elementary School

In elementary school, students typically receive three report cards. The school year is separated into three terms (Sept-Dec, Dec-Mar, Mar-June) at the end of each term the students get a report card. It is often followed by a break of some sort. Example: First term Christmas Holidays, second term March Break and third term Summer Holidays.

[edit] Secondary School

In secondary school, students receive two report cards at the end of each semester. They also get mid-term report cards midway through the semester. The semester goes from Sept-Jan and Jan-June.
