| Mar 29, 2016 at 23:36 | comment | added | Hot Licks | While ABCDF is the usual nomenclature for student scores in the US (either on individual tests/projects or the combined work for a period of time), the terms used are almost always "grade" or "score" (not "ABCDF"), and sometimes the values "excellent", "good", "fair", "poor", and "unsatisfactory" are used, or some other such scheme. This often varies with age level. Overall scores over several years are apt to be rolled into some sort of numerical "grade point average", though again the schemes vary. | |

| Mar 29, 2016 at 20:43 | comment | added | Kristina Lopez | I think you mean "people who are being taught things" and "people who study things". ABCDF are grades which are a representative of the student's success or failure at mastering the material taught in the class. A = passed with a high degree of mastery / F = failed to pass the requirements to demonstrate mastery of the material taught in the class. | |

| Mar 29, 2016 at 20:38 | comment | added | Lambie | People who are being studied things?? An ABCDEF? The question is slightly dodgy. | |
| Mar 29, 2016 at 20:36 | comment | added | Drew | Define "school context". There are zillions of different schools, in many different countries and cultures. | |
| Mar 29, 2016 at 20:29 | comment | added | Foxcat385 | Are there specific words that have exactly one meaning in school context? | |
| Mar 29, 2016 at 20:28 | comment | added | PellMel | And like many ideas that can be expressed in English, there are multiple terms for most of those. | |
| Mar 29, 2016 at 20:25 | comment | added | Hot Licks | Pretty much all of the above. | |
| Mar 29, 2016 at 20:21 | comment | added | John Clifford | Like many other words in the English language, class has many possible uses and meanings. | |
