The final \n in the overlay is a little irritating when the buffer is
folded, as it adds an extra line between the headlines.  I changed it this,
which doesn't seem perfect but so far works for me:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results output
  (require 'ov)

  (org-map-entries
   (lambda ()
     (when (org-entry-get (point) "GRADE")
       (setq ov (make-overlay (- (line-end-position) 1)
                              (+ 0 (line-end-position))))
       (setq character (buffer-substring (- (line-end-position) 1)
(line-end-position)))
       (overlay-put
        ov 'display
        (format  "%s  GRADE: %s" character (org-entry-get (point)
"GRADE"))))))
#+END_SRC

you need to run this to refresh the grades on the headlines when they

so I should probably make this into a function which can be called by the
function that writes grades...
