After the implementation of the Grade 1-9 Curriculum, various forms of report cards were developed by elementary and junior high schools. The purpose of this project was to explore and evaluate various models of the report cards. Twenty-four different forms of report cards from 18 domestic counties and cities were gathered and analyzed according to the reporting features for the learning areas and daily life performance. This article presented several typical examples and illustrated their promising features and potential drawbacks. To provide additional perspective, examples from school districts in the USA were also included to point out special characteristics worth of mention, and to provide examples of standards-based reporting. Finally, guidelines for designing report cards were proposed. In addition, suggestions were offered to improve grading and reporting practices so as to support student learning and to encourage student success.
