While it is certainly not a reaction I'd condone (calling you stupid, I mean), I already think in the first place that some kids are already too much spoiled by gadgets and technology those days. You really don't need a cellphone to survive at school, and grounding is probably not permanent until you get your grades up and it's not that harsh. He was probably just angry about something and didn't realise that the average of your group is 60% before lashing out at you.
I'd speak with him again once he calm down. If I was your father, I'd probably be proud of yourself under the same circumstances. Communication is always the key solving problems like this one.
