I disagree: in the UK examples (the school report, for example), in the absence of context suggesting otherwise, I read 'quite' as meaning 'moderately'. The school report is positive, although not greatly so, and the interesting thing, while probably not pulling people away from their favourite pastime, is probably something they'd note for future reference (see QI the programme, for example).

A review saying that something is 'quite good' may be damning with faint praise, but that's not the same thing.
