Well, Hagrid said himself that he "...never was great shakes at magic, really..." :-). OTOH, he had four more years to study. He would have probably gotten an "O" for Care of Magical Creatures and went to work with dragons after school, like Charlie Weasley :-).
 
Hagrid_Hut:
Perhaps he is just one of those people whose time is best spent outside of school.  I guess he doesn't really need to learn magic to defend himself, as we learn of his nearly impenetrable skin (he's thick skinned).
And he DID work with dragons after school--illegally that is :)
