The answer depends on three things: gender, height, and weight. Typically tall skinny males are the highest jumpers, due to increased strength, longer legs, and less weight to move. The website http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/VerticalJump.html gives a calculator into which you can enter your personal data and figure out the average for your age group. (This calculator unfortunately doesn't factor weight/height into the average jump. As long as the age group is the same, somebody five feet tall and 500 pounds has the same average jump [according to the website] as somebody seven feet tall and 200 pounds.)
