A grading and reporting system assesses students' educational performance based on points and evaluates their performance. It communicates results to students, parents, and others. Good reporting relies on clear evidence. The system enhances learning by clarifying objectives, showing strengths and weaknesses, and indicating where teaching could be improved. It also informs parents of student progress and helps with promotion decisions, counseling, and identifying students for programs. The major purposes are to communicate achievement, provide self-evaluation information, select students for paths or programs, incentivize learning, and evaluate instructional programs.
