grading system

Academic rating scale

A grading system is a framework for evaluating and ranking performance, typically in education.

Schools use grading systems to assess student work—letter grades (A through F), percentages, or pass/fail.

The term extends to any standardized method of classification: The USDA grading system rates beef quality.

Different institutions adopt different scales, making conversions sometimes necessary.
