Colin all things you note were good accomplishments, but none by themselves create a "Great President"
I guess it depends what criterea ones uses....
History will judge them all. Normally things change over time. 10,20,50 years out of office.

OK, that's fair. I don't know who will be considered a "great president". Many conservatives consider Reagan to be a great president and many liberals consider him to be something like an anti-christ.
Who could we agree on were great presidents? Kennedy stood down the Russians. Lincoln saved the country. Washington was first. These?
I guess getting re-elected might be a starting point. If you can't win re-election you can't be considered great because people at the time didn't consider you to be. FDR = 4. Wow!
