From WF School Rumble & Anime Wikipedia
[edit] Overview
[edit] Background
Much like the School Rumble Trading Cards in later volumes, the Report Cards appear as bonus material in volume 3 of the manga. There are a total of ten report cards, all except Tsukamoto Yakumo belonging to students from class 2-C.
[edit] Report Card Layout
Each card includes a list of subjects the student is studying, their grade in each subject, a comment from a teacher, and a comment from the student themselves. Only Tsukamoto Tenma's report card includes a specific reference to the teacher making the comment (Sasakura Youko). However, judging from the reference to a letter in the comment on Harima Kenji's report it seems reasonable to suppose that all unspecified comments are made by the students' homeroom teacher-Tani Hayato in the case of 2-C students.
[edit] Grading Scheme
With the exception of Karasuma Ooji, all characters receive grades based on a standardized scale, but unlike other common grading schemes in School Rumble grades are indicated by a picture of one of four animals. The possible grades in order from best to worst are as follows:
- Dragon - Outstanding!!!
- Lion - Excellent work
- Elephant - Very good
- Turtle - Try a little harder
It should be noted that only Takano Akira and Ichijou Karen received Dragons for Mathematics and Gym respectively,
[edit] Grade Point Average
By assigning numerical values to each animal grade it is possible to compute a grade point average (GPA) for each character and thus have some means of comparing their performance. For the purposes of this exercise the following numerical equivalents were used:
| Animal | Numeric Equivalent
|
| Dragon | 3
|
| Lion | 2
|
| Elephant | 1
|
| Turtle | 0
|
This method results in the following GPAs for each character in order from highest to lowest:
Karasuma cannot be included, of course, because his grades do not follow any intelligable scale. Additionally, it may be incorrect to include Yakumo since she is in a different class than the others.

I understand that you are busy with work, but if Takano-san concentrates more on her studies then she can accomplish great success in her field of study, or so this teacher feels.

If it's for the person I love, I would give it my all.

During the Kendo lesson, I heard you were incredibly active. Next time please teach your sensei as well.
[edit] Student's Comment
Japanese is the hardest language in the world. The words I use when talking with friends I can't use on tests at all. Well, I still like Japanese thought.

Thank you for your work as class representative. Thinking just now, I believe it would be difficult if we had to find another representative for this class.

Ahem. My grade in Classical Literature fell. I couldn't take my attention off of Yakumo-kun during Gym class.

Stop your cell phone from always ringing during art class. And stop falling completely asleep during tests. And...

You can have fun in life without having to study or whatever. Ah, but if I don't go to college I can't get friendly with the girls there, can I? Crap.

To be totally absorbed in something is a good thing, but please don't become one who neglects her school work.

Next time we have a student-parent-teacher meeting, please bring your mother, not your father.

You have absolutely wonderful grades. It's just that, I am concerned about your occasional absence from class without notice.
[edit] Student's Comment
It's getting harder and harder to study...
