A's is the highest grade the person could get. Straight in this context usually means, they got all the A's and some might also beleive that they got them with ease. That is to say they didn't just scrape this grade, they got high marks. We usually use the sentence to describe someone who academically gets A's in all subjects across the board.

The straight As refers to the grading system in school. Grade A is the highest grade one can receive.

Straight As is referring to his/her grades. Which is very good for that person to have to highest grade allowed.

It means the person has all A's in their classes. "A" being the top grade one earns.

They mean the grade A--the top mark in school, not the word "as."
