Help has arrived just in time for report cards!

Each progress report and report card provides an opportunity for you to give parents insight into their child’s performance beyond a letter or numerical grade for conduct or academics. Parents want to know how their child is doing, but they also want to know that you get their child. Report cards also help students understand what they are doing well … as well as areas where they could improve. The best way to get these points across is via meaningful comments. Need help? We’ve got dozens of sample report card comments below that are sorted for students at every level: emerging, developing, proficient, and extending standards, plus comments that address behavior, social skills, and more.

Report card comments are a vital component of a child’s education. A small but meaningful comment can make a HUGE difference in the classroom experience.

According to Education Week , about 67% of parents feel that report cards are important to knowing if their child is on grade level .

Tips For Writing Report Card Comments & Remarks

Writing report card comments is a critical aspect of a teacher's job, whether it's for math , English, or other subjects. It's not just about assigning grades but also about providing feedback in your remarks that can help students grow and improve.

Here are some tips that can make these comments more meaningful and impactful:

Be Specific : Instead of general statements, pinpoint exact strengths and areas for improvement. This helps students understand what they are doing well and what they need to work on.

Use Positive Language : Focus on the student's progress and potential. Even when addressing areas for improvement, frame your comments positively to encourage rather than discourage.

Include Examples : Whenever possible, reference specific assignments or incidents. This makes your feedback more tangible and easier for the student to relate to.

Offer Solutions : Don’t just point out what’s wrong; suggest ways to improve. This could be strategies for studying, time management, or resources for extra help.

Be Concise : Keep your comments clear and to the point. Long comments can be overwhelming, and the key messages may get lost.

Make It Personal : Tailor your comments to each student. Generic comments can feel impersonal and may not be as effective.

Highlight Improvements : Acknowledge any progress or improvements, no matter how small. This can motivate students to keep working hard.

End on a Positive Note : Always conclude with an encouraging statement. This leaves the student feeling supported and understood.

Types of Report Card Comments

Report card comments go beyond just academics; they touch on various aspects of a student's performance and behavior in school. These comments can provide a holistic view of a student's development, strengths, and areas that need attention.

Here's a look at different types of report card comments that can be used to convey a well-rounded perspective:

Attitude : These comments focus on the student's approach towards learning and school activities. They can highlight positivity, willingness to take on challenges, or areas where a more constructive attitude could be developed.

Behavior : This type addresses how the student interacts with rules and norms in the classroom and school environment. Comments can point out exemplary behavior or suggest ways to improve in managing impulses and respecting boundaries.

Character : Character comments reflect on the student's moral and ethical development. They may commend integrity, honesty, responsibility, and empathy, or offer suggestions for growth in these areas.

Communication : These remarks evaluate how effectively a student expresses themselves and understands others. They can praise strong verbal or written skills and encourage improvement in listening and articulation.

Group Work : Comments in this category assess the student's ability to work in teams. They can highlight skills in collaboration, leadership, and contributing positively to group tasks.

Interest & Talent : This type of comment identifies specific areas where a student shows enthusiasm or exceptional ability, whether it's in a subject, a sport, or the arts, and encourages further development.

Social Skills : Social skills comments focus on how the student interacts with peers and adults within the school. They can applaud empathy, friendliness, and inclusivity, or offer advice on navigating social situations more effectively.

Work Habits : These comments examine the student's approach to their studies, including organization, time management, persistence, and attention to detail. They can recognize good habits or suggest strategies for improvement.

100 Report Card Comments You Can Use Now

When teachers talk about the joys of teaching, I’m pretty sure they aren’t talking about report card writing. It may just rank right up there with indoor recess, yard duty, and staff meetings. But report cards don’t have to be such a pain.

Here are a few report card general principles, followed by my handy dandy list of editable go-to phrases…

Three Report Card Comment Principles

1. Be Truthful but Kind

A report card’s main purpose is to inform parents about their child’s progress. While there should be no major surprises ( BIG/major issues should have already been discussed with the child’s parents/guardians ), regardless of how well the child is doing or how poorly, the report card should be an honest reflection of that child’s performance.

Having said that, of course, we want to word things in a way that is as positive as we can be and in a way that is encouraging, offering suggestions for improvement, rather than discouragement.

2. Follow the Magical Report Card Comment Format

If the child is doing well overall… you are golden!!! An easy report card is one that I LOVE to do. Unfortunately, not all students are Einsteins or angels, and we have to mention some areas that need improvement. That’s when we use the magical format, which is…

A. Start with a compliment… you might have to dig deep here and get creative, while still being genuine. Remember, every student has attributes we can praise, even the most challenging ones. You might mention the child’s attitude, personality, social skills, sense of humor, willingness or desire to help, special skill in art/music, etc.

B. Next, add a line or two about what is challenging the child , and how he/she struggles in a certain area. Don’t include a laundry list of 20 things to work on. Prioritize the list and highlight the MOST important issues. Also, do make sure to offer a solution or suggestion that is practical and helpful .

C. End on a positive note. Again, a compliment is a nice touch any time of the year, and for the end of the year report card, a best wishes for ____ grade or have a wonderful summer, or I’m so glad to have been ____’s teacher this year, and so on works well.

3. Proofread and Check, then Proofread Again

Report card time is crunch time, and when we’re trying to speed through things and get them done, those nasty little typos pop up where we least expect them.

Do make sure to double-check everything before you hit enter/print to send them home. All communication with parents is seen as a reflection of ourselves as teachers and should be as perfect as we can make it.

Now that the principles are out of the way, here is my list of 100+ report card comments (updated to include 150 comments!).

I’ve included a wide variety of comments for the wide variety of ability levels and behavioral challenges of the students that we teach in our classrooms..

Hi, I’m Jenn, CEO and owner of The Teacher Next Door!

I know that you strive to be an effective upper elementary teacher while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

In order to do that, you need resources that are impactful, yet simple .

The problem is that most resources and curriculums out there are far from simple. The pages upon pages of daily lesson plans are just plain overwhelming .

At TTND, we believe teachers should be living their lives outside of the classroom, and not spend hours lesson planning and searching for resources.

We understand that now, more than ever, teachers need space to be themselves which is why we create and support teachers with timesaving tips and standards-aligned resources.
