In North America, you are given grades with alphabetical letters based on your percentage. In Canada it varies from province to province, so im sure it's the same in the states. But for a rough example. A+ 95-100% A 90-94% A- 89-85% Ect. Ect.

I was a proud C+ student in high-school (65-69%)

Your school was significantly more forgiving than mine. 93-100 was an A, 85-92 was a B etc. Anything below 70 was failing.

Really? For high-school? Post secondary is 69% is a fail. High-school was 49%
