I know the median for our specific elementary for kids having completed 3rd grade (assuming that they're actually testing to the standards, rather than some other level), because those are public records.
Median percent correct for math ranges from 75% to 100%, depending on the standard being tested. For reading, it's 60-83%, depending on the standard. Aggregating across the standards, it looks like about 80% in both, but that's not properly weighted, because I don't know the number of items per standard.
In our school, 21% of "regular ed" (no IEP, only English spoken in the home) kids are classified as not "ready for the next grade level" based on testing, but the actual retention rate is much lower.
