grade D
Assessed student work
Grade D designates the lowest passing mark in academic or quality rating systems, just above failure.
A grade D signals barely acceptable performance—you've met minimum requirements but nothing more: I scraped by with a D in chemistry.
In meat grading and other quality assessments, grade D indicates the poorest acceptable standard.
