I am in limbo here, because handwriting would backtranslate as 'handschrift', like 'hoe is je handschrift', with which one refers to its neatness and to what extent it is quality calligraphy. 'schriftbeeld' is a chique word, implying all kinds of things, every imaginable aspect of taking a pen and manipulating it, to all kinds of criteria regarding the end product. I would therefore prefere script; but perhaps I take this all too serious ...
I stick to my keybord; why all these classroom tortures?

Anyway, thanks Brian!

agree  Tina Vonhof (X): Since 'orde en netheid' is already mentioned in the heading, I think this will suffice.

neatness of handwriting


Explanation:
Zoals je zelf aangeeft gaat het hier om vaardigheden m.b.t. 'orde en netheid'. Oftewel het gaat hier niet om het handschrift als zodanig, maar om de netheid/duidelijkheid ervan. Voor een basisschoolrapport lijkt dit een bruikbare vertaling, vaak ook op de voet gevolgd door 'general presentation of work'.
