Elementary, high schools, and vocational schools

Spain uses a 10-point grading scale for elementary and high schools:

9.0-10 is the best possible grade and is called "sobresaliente" ("outstanding"). A 10 grade may also include a distinction called "Matrícula de Honor" or "Mención de Honor," but usually only a limited number of students per group may benefit from it. Distinctions may imply tuition waivers for the following course.
7-8.9 is called "notable" ("notable"). Sometimes a distinction is made between "notable bajo" (low) and "notable alto" (high).
6-6.9 is called "bien" ("good").
5-5.9 is the lowest passing grade and is called "suficiente" ("sufficient").
3-4.9 is called "insuficiente" ("insufficient").
0-2.9 is the lowest possible grade and is called "muy deficiente" (literally translated as "very deficient").
The term "suspenso" ("fail") includes both "insuficiente" and "muy deficiente".
