Flunkee is an informal American term for someone who has failed (flunked) an academic course or test — a student who didn't make the grade. The '-ee' suffix denotes the recipient of the action: as the student is the one who has been flunked, they become the flunkee. The register is casual and slightly self-deprecating; calling yourself a flunkee is a way of owning failure with a bit of humour. Less common than 'flunker' or 'flunk-out' but follows standard English derivational patterns.
