Is there a visual novel where grades are essential to the story?

Speaking from experience, some Japanese visual novels since the 90s to 00s such as True Love to Amagami had these kind of mechanisms. At its early developments, it was obnoxious and unnecessarily long. It was after Playstation's Tokimeki Memorial that the mechanism gets really even more polished and rewarding to play. *hint, hint. It's usually the "academically intelligent girl" route.

of course, company policy's disclaimer: This reply is in no way reflecting the whole studio's opinion, as it was written by the PR guy alone with his working laptop. :meguface:

Unrelated to the thread, but I think putting that last part in a signature would save you some trouble.

Yes.

In Majikoi, to achieve the good ending for Momoyo you need to have gotten good grades.

There is actually a set of questions (Quiz) that you need to answer, and if you don't get them right (do well in the exams/get good grades) your confession will be rejected regardless of your other choices during the route.

Gaokao Love 100 Days is not precisely about grades, but it's main goal is both to get a girlfriend and not fail the after-high-school exam that will more or less determine your future. It has only two heroines, but a huge amount of endings depending how you do on each front.

But like people have said already, everything that put an emphasis on grades will most likely be considered a "dating sim". Not a genre divide I would really care about, but I guess people like to stress it because of how many absolute-shit dating sims there are. :P
