I know this is a long term, but I had to put it all, otherwise it would not make sense. This is the exact way it is written (commas included in the right spaces).
My best guess is:
"Average grade of the Sublevel of Elementary, High School and Superior Basic General Education"
Does this make any sense?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Note: later in the text we have: promedio de los 3 anos de bachillerato -- Average grade of the three years of High School

Grade Average for General Basic Education: Elementary, Middle and Superior Sublevels
Educación General Básica is the umbrella term, this goes from 6 years of age to 14 years of age
This General Basic Education has been divided in (being each a sublevel):
Elemental =Elementary
Media = Middle
Superior = Superior (NOT High school)
THEN comes bachillerato, (15 to 18 years of age) which is the equivalent to high school

: Though 'superior' may sound a bit odd, a literal translation like this might be the way to go here. :-)

"Grade Average" is more accurate than "Average Grade", although it amounts to mean the same
