[quote=Anonymous]They matter very much because they help identify any issues. In an American elementary school, any functional kid should have excellent grades, because the primary curriculum teaches to the lowest common denominator. Test scores will depend on intelligence and academic preparedness. If the grades are good but the test scores are low, the kid is diligent but perhaps not highly intelligent or not interested in reading or math. If the grades are low and the score is high, the kid has natural intelligence but is not paying attention in class. If everything is low, there's definitely a problem that needs to be addressed. If everything is high - kudos, your kid is doing well. This is a bird's eye view, over the span of several years of grades and test scores, of course. Kids being young, one data point is meaningless because they could very well have completely spaced out for that one. [/quote]
