grader
Leveler of earth
A grader is someone or something that grades.
A teacher grading papers is a grader; so is automated software that scores tests.
In construction, a grader is heavy equipment that levels earth for roads and foundations.
In American schools, grader combines with ordinals to indicate a student's year: a third grader, an eighth grader.
