'GREAT'- all of the seeds germinated
'Good'- most of the seeds germinated, only a few failed or stunted
'Ok'- decent amount, maybe half the seeds germinated
'Can't tell'- I dropped the tray and they got mixed up 
Crossed off- nothing grew

I know that's not very scientific, I don't have actual counts or percentages, but it gives me an idea.
