" "Was James more deserving of the grade than she (was)? Whether the implied verb is is or was would depend on the time frame that the grades were given to each (James or the female).

You would use "she" because there is an implied verb of either is or was after she, i.e.,
"Was James more deserving of the grade than she (is)?"
"Was James more deserving of the grade than she (was)?
Whether the implied verb is is or was would depend on the time frame that the grades were given to each (James or the female).
