It's a bit ugly but I think it works...
| | | names | grade 1 | grade 2 | grade 3 | Total | | Letter grade |
|---+---+------------+---------+---------+---------+-------+---+--------------|
| # | 1 | student 01 | 91.80 | 96.40 | 97.00 | 95.07 | 1 | A |
| | | | | | | | | |
| # | 2 | student 02 | 88.78 | 89.15 | 98.00 | 91.98 | 2 | A |
| | | | | | | | | |
| # | 3 | student 03 | 92.00 | 95.14 | 97.00 | 94.71 | 3 | A |
| | | | | | | | | |
| # | 4 | student 04 | 84.00 | 74.62 | 88.00 | 82.21 | 4 | B |

#+TBLFM: $7=($4+$5+$6)/3;%.2f::$9=if($7<60,string("F"),if($7<70,string("D"),if($7<80,string("C"),if($7<90,string("B"),string("A")))))
There might be a better/cleaner way to do this.
This also seems to work:
#+TBLFM: $7=($4+$5+$6)/3;%.2f::$9=if($7<60,F,if($7<70,D,if($7<80,C,if($7<90,B,A))))
