Some schools use "E" instead of "F". "E" and "F" both mean the same thing, but normally "F" is used because it stands for Fail.

Long, long ago there was an E. It stood for EXCELLENT. It was higher than an A. I don't know why it is seldom used any more. It must have felt good to get an E.
Maybe it was too easy to change a F to an E. Now I guess students can only change a F t a B. But, it isn't worth it. In the end, When the teacher averages the grades, the truth comes out, fortunately.

My school system has an "E." It means you are failing, but your failing mark is high enough that you can still attend summer school and make up the credit there. Unfortunately the grade still exists but now they will let any kid regardless of his/her grade go to summer school as long as they weren't an attendance problem.
Good Luck!!!

"C" is average. It stands for "correct".
There are two gradations better than "C".
"A" implies the grader cannot see any room for improvement.
"B" is better than average but it still could be improved.
"D" implies worse than average.
"F" implies failure.
A difference between "worse than average" and "failure" would not have any meaning.
It would be interpreted as just plain meanness on the part of the grader.
