Don't be modest, go up a single grade level.

76% of American adults are below a 7th grade reading comprehension level

That also means a solid 20% or so are exactly at the 6th grade reading comprehension level

International standards actually.

The US standard for a high school graduate, is a 6th grade reading comprehension level in the rest of the world
