You can set up an Apple IIgs GUI spreadsheet or database to do grades.
The AppleWorks GS database is nice for doing this.  If you program it
correctly, it can do the necessary calculations and put the grades into
the right fields.  You can even have scanned images of the students
taken from a Mac and placed into a picture field in each student's
record.

QC Calc from the ByteWorks is a spreadsheet that has grade (A through F
style) functions built in, so it will function well without frills.
