Spanish term or phrase: Aprobado, Notable, Sobresaliente
These are grades form a High School in Spain. I need to know to what they correspond to in the USA.
I was thinking C, B, A, rispectively. But then there is no D. Unless there is another grade in Spain. (Besides fail). So I translated them with: Approved, Good and Excellent.
I hope somebody can do better than this.
Grazie.

Explanation:
Here\'s how they\'re translated on different web sites aimed at American students (these are about Spanish Universities).

Although grades at the Complutense University of Madrid are based on a 10-point scale, the verbal grades explained below are used by all Spanish universities and are the grades that students will see on their transcripts. Interpretation of the Spanish grading scale is as follows:

Sobresaliente y Honor = A+
Sobresaliente = A
Notable = B
Aprobado = C
Suspenso/No Apto = F
http://www.gowithcea.com/pi.asp?c=12&p=4

The grading system is as follows:
Sobresaliente = A
Notable = B
Aprobado = C
Suspenso = F

From the University of North Carolina:
SAS UNCAR Courses

Sobresaliente 9.00 - 10.00 A
8.60 - 8.99 A-
7.60 - 8.59 B+
Notable 7.00 - 7.59 B
6.60 - 6.99 B-
5.60 - 6.59 C+
Aprobado 5.00 - 5.59 C
4.60 - 4.99 C- (minimum for pass/fail)
4.00 - 4.59 D+
3.60 - 3.99 D
Suspenso 0.00 - 3.59 F
