RE: S rank

The S-Rank originated in Japan. At one time, any grade under C was considered a failure, so some schools decided to add another letter to give more variation in grades and didn't want to copy the American A-B-C-D-F grading system, so instead opted for S-A-B-C-D.
Some believe the letter S was used because of the Japanese word "Shihan", or Expert.
