Spain<span> uses a 10-point </span>grading scale<span> for elementary and high schools: 9.0-10 is the best possible </span>grade<span> and is called "sobresaliente" ("outstanding"). A 10 </span>grade<span> 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.</span>
