A report card is a document that shows a student's academic performance in school. It typically includes grades for different subjects, such as math, science, and English, along with comments from teachers about the student's progress. Report cards are usually issued at the end of a grading period, like a semester or quarter. Parents and guardians use report cards to understand how well their child is doing in school. They can see areas where the student excels and subjects that may need improvement. This information helps them support their child's learning and communicate with teachers about any concerns.
