Create a student grade tracker using classes in Python

Level: Beginner

Your task for today is to create a simple Student class in Python that tracks grades and calculates averages. This project introduces you to object-oriented programming concepts while working with practical data management.

Project Task

Create a Student class that:

• Stores a student's name and a list of grades

• Has methods to:

  • Add a new grade

  • Calculate the average grade

  • Get the letter grade (A, B, C, D, F)

  • Display a grade report

• Then create student objects and test all the methods

Bonus (optional):

• Add a method to find the highest and lowest grades

• Create multiple students and compare their averages

• Add input validation (grades must be 0-100)

• Save student data to a file

This project gives you hands-on practice with classes, objects, and methods — the foundation of object-oriented programming in Python.
