Grades are levels or ranks on a scale.
In education, grades are marks indicating quality of work—letter grades run from A to F, with A being excellent.
Grade also means a year of schooling: My son is in fourth grade.
The grade of a road is its slope or incline.
To grade is to assign a rank or to level ground: Workers graded the site for construction.
To make the grade is to meet a standard.
