FWIW, in our district they use 85%, with the understanding that parents/teachers would also look to see if the questions missed showed a gap where the student needed to be caught up before moving forward or if these were just random errors.

Whether a kid is at 80% mastery or 85%, it has been helpful to look for gaps (which can be quickly covered) and then allow him to move forward. In our district, they have given multiple year-end tests at once, to place students. (If he gets > 85% on 4th, they would also give 5th.)

Good luck!
