When I was a in grade school our grading system didn't skip the letter "E". We Had: A+, A, A- / B+, B, B- / C+, C, C- / D+, D, D- / E= Excellent (which was above an A+) needless to say, most of us didn't see that grade very often :) / F= Failing (Below a D-) A grade we hoped and prayed never to see.

Systems that drop the letter may have done so to get away from the denotation of E = excellent, S = satisfactory and N = not satisfactory and U = unsatisfactory
Most systems adopted a number based system for evaluation from 0 - 100, and the scores may look something like this: A = 90-100, B = 80-89, C = 75-79, D = 70 - 74, and F = 69 or below.
If E flowed into the A - F categories, it may be misunderstood.

Not all systems do. Those who do say the grade actually stands for "fail" not a skipped letter E.

* F (Also N or E): Failure or Exceptionally Poor; or bottom 60% (0-59) = 0.00 Percentage ranges may vary from one school to another. In some schools, these ranges may even vary from one class to another. Whether the failing grade is F or E typically depends on time and geography. Some states, but not many, have tended to favor E since World War II while the majority of the country tends to use F. Ultimately, the grade F traces to the days of two-point grading as Pass (P) and Fail (F).

They stand for the first to last letter's in rthe alphabet and go A=Awsome B=brilliant C=Ok D= do better F= Fail. ( At least in my town.) They can be different and some towns do percentage too.
