Academic grading in Portugal
In Portuguese middle-schools, a five-point grading scale is used, where:
- 5 (very good or excellent) is the best possible grade (90-100%),
- 4 (good) (70-89%),
- 3 (satisfactory) indicates "average" performance (50-69%),
- 2 (unsatisfactory) (20-49%),
- 1 (poor) is the lowest possible grade (0-19%).
