Some teachers in some areas do share a ‘ranking’ if it’s high. For example in Scotland we have CAT scores for maths, reading and something else, comprehension maybe. If a child is top three in the class for that score, the parents are sometimes told. I don’t know if it’s always.
Who is your ‘we’?

Exactly, it depends on the areas and the countries. I have lived in three different countries where schools are a world apart and have nothing in common. And it’s still legit and valid. If it doesn’t happen where you live it doesn’t mean it’s not happening out of your place.
I used to work as a teacher, by the way.

I read with envy all kinds of views about school reports as this year my son didn't get one at all. We would like to know how he did in his first year of secondary school. Never seen a school that does that. We got a progress report in March and after that nothing. Is that common practice in secondary schools?

Yes. Reports are not necessarily issued at the end of the year in secondary. Seniors are even earlier.

All the other schools in the area do. How are parents supposed to know how the children are doing?
