So how would you work out any average?
Find the total and divide by the number of items.
So you need to either

a) store all the grades in a list and sum() them at the end.  Then
divide by the len() of the list.

or

b) keep a running total and count and do the math at the end.

BTW Your for loop is completely unnecessary. It just
performs the exact same operation many times.
grade never changes so max/min get set to the
same value each time.
