Generally, Reports are nothing but "Extracting Data from the Database and Displaying extracted data on the Screen".
Classical, Interactive, and ALV (ALV List and ALV Grid) are different Reports in SAP ABAP.

Classical Report : You can only be able to display extracted data using LOOP...ENDLOOP in default standard format from the Database.

Interactive Report : Interactive functionality(Double Click Functionality) can be implemented in this. LOOP...ENDLOOP can be used to display extracted data.

ALV Report : No need to use LOOP...END LOOP statement in displaying data from the database. This is a user friendly Report where you can implement many different features using Standard Function Modules. Loops will be taken care by the system internally. You dont have to worry about it.

Classical report is used to display the entire information in a single list. Eg: sales order header details, item details are displayed in a single list.

Interactive report is used to displayed the summarised information in a basic list and detailed information in secondary list. we have only one basic list and 9 secondary lists are there
Eg:college name, person name in a basic list and college address, person address, person family details, education in secondary list.

ALV: ALV reports are used to display the output with predefined functionalities like sorting the list in ascending order, descending order, down the list, excel sheet, totals etc.

In classical reporting, we have to do hard coding for reporting. We can interact with the report with interactive report, if we click on a line in report we can move to the secondary screen. In ALV (abap list view) we don't want to do hard coding for printing report. Instead of it, we can use predefined function or method to print report.

Classical Report is used to display just the table data. It consist only single list. Interactive reports are reports where users can interact more means if we cliack on some field it will display one more list. In ALV reports SAP has provided some function modules to display output. Coding will be less.
