The 50th percentile is average. The 5th is way below and the 95th is way above.

The 5th and 95th percentiles are the lines that set of the "edges of the curve" in a distribution over a bell curve. If you draw the bell, and mark the 5th and 95th percentile spots, those marks separate the bulk of the curve from its edges. The 5th percentile sets off the bottom edge and the 95th percentile sets off the top edge of the curve.
