classified as
We don't really have these classifications in English, but I think the idea is that marks out of 20 can be grouped as Poor, Average, Fair, Good, Excellent, etc. I would translate "suficiente" as "Fair".

a bare passing grade
"Suficiente" sounds like just enough to pass, or as we would say in idiomatic English "pass by a whisker" or "to make it by the skin of one's teeth". So, in a more formal context, "a bare pass" or even "a pass" (as opposed to "a pass with distinction").
