I don't see why Ruby's defense is low. Shouldn't defense encompass more than just the ability to take a hit, like the ability to neutralize or deflect damage? Possibly even avoiding damage. Because out of all of them, Ruby has arguably had the best track record. Save for Yang, who just tanked everything, Ruby has either successfully deflected any and all incoming attacks, blocked them, or otherwise remain untouched. Her grade for defense should either be booted to around a B or so, or be left as a "?" until we actually see her take a direct hit.

As for her dex, if dex equals agility and accuracy, then wouldn't hers still be a higher grade as well? As far as being agile goes, she's easily one of the better ones, able to move around as she does even with such a large weapon. And for the accuracy part, during her trailer, she hadn't missed a single shot on the Beowolves, even at a distance. Seen again when she fought Crimson and each of her shots had to be blocked. And with the Nevermore, that can't really be used as a good indicator, or else any and all persons in the RWBY team would have low dex.

And for her att, I don't see her strength being that far below Yang's. While yes, we do see more of Yang's strength in play, due to her striker/brawler style, and we've seen her punch away a full grown Ursa while on a hate-filled roid-rage, it doesn't indicate she's stronger than Ruby. While I admit, Blake and Weiss don't seem too strong, Ruby casually cut a fucking tree in HALF without the use of her bullets to augment the strike. Adding in this strength to her weapons great size and Crescent Rose's added destructive capability when actually using the rounds (or even the Cross Clips (technically Magazines)), she deserves the same rating as Yang for this. Or at the very least, an A+.

As for the rest, I completely agree with Jaune getting an A for his leadership.
