B grade

Good, not great

B grade indicates the second tier in a ranking system, one step below the top.

A B-grade movie is a low-budget film, often cheaply made but sometimes achieving cult status.

B-grade materials or products are acceptable but not premium: B-grade lumber has minor defects.

In academic grading, a B represents above-average but not excellent performance.
