Are report cards in all DCPS elementary schools useless?

[Anonymous]

My kid's report card has no useful information on it, and I'm wondering if this is the practice at her elementary school or across DCPS.

The areas for comments are just general info--e.g. The class is comparing numbers up to 1000. Also, they provide you with the standardize test scores without providing a chart to find out what the raw number means--e.g. it says "on grade level 437," but I have no idea if that's the 40th or 90th percentile. Presumably either could be considered "on grade level." I googled the i-ready chart, but I'm not 100% sure I'm looking at the right thing. My kid's grades are all over the place, and I don't understand why--e.g. he got a 2 in "reading--foundational skills" and then a 4 in "reading--informational texts." How is he doing so well with informational texts if he's below grade level in foundational skills?

I'm just curious as to whether others received more personalized report cards.
