Good list. I think you're right about Clinton, Carter, and Nixon doing well in school. I think, but don't know, that father Bush did well. His big feat, much remembered, was the captain of the baseball team at Yale. But I think his grades were quite good.

One can expect that Woodrow Wilson's grades were good as well.

No doubt Herbert Hoover, everyone's favorite engineer had good grades.

Oh, yes, on the Clinton grades, the story is that in his last year or two at Yale Law School he didn't do particularly well. Got too interested in politics, even ran George McGovern's Texas campaign during his senior year in law school. He would show up a couple of days before exams, cram from his classmates notes, no doubt Hillary's particularly, and do quite well, thank you, on the exams.
