Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'good' is an evaluative adjective and 'grade' is an academic mark, so 'good grade' straightforwardly denotes a positive/high mark. This pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows basic adjective + noun semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Good grade comes from two simple words: good and grade, where grade means the mark a teacher gives. Picture a teacher writing a high number or letter on your test. That high mark is a good grade, so the phrase means 'a high or above average score'.
