I want to give my students a grade for their performance.

Grades are usually given, as in "I gave Martin an A." I would not use rate or judge.
The exception is if you use a rating system such as from 1 to 5 stars. Then, you could say "I rated him 5 stars".

Depends whether you have an object or not. You can "grade someone," but you cannot "grade them an a." Usually you "give someone an a", but you could also leave yourself out and say that "they earned an a," as if they did it all by themselves.
