A grade

Best possible score

A grade is the highest mark in academic evaluation systems, indicating excellent or superior performance.

In letter-grade systems, A sits at the top, sometimes refined with plus or minus: She got an A+ on the exam.

A-grade as an adjective means first-rate or top-quality: A-grade beef, A-grade talent.
