Hi there, I was wondering how these phrases are usually translated on academic transcripts (if there is a standard translation)
Thank you.
Thank you.

Perhaps the standard grading system would be A, B, C, D, and F (with + or - for each; e.g., A+, A, A-, B+, etc.) in the US (and probably also in the UK), so "A, B, C (or D)" may be closer to "よくできる, できる, もう少し."
Although it is not very common, I thought "excellent, good, unsatisfactory" would be clearer for the translation purpose, especially when there are only three grades and no additional grades that correspond to the rest (D and F).
"(there is) room for improvement" or "below average" may better explain "もう少し" if a longer phrase is allowed.

Excellent, good, underachieved
もう少し may be translated as "underachieved" as the pupil has not achieved the target level. They purposely don't say "fail" lest pupils get discouraged.
