HIS average mark/grade
Nuance maybe on this one?
"LA moyenne de passage"... would be referring to the pass grade/mark required.
Your original reads "<B>SA</B> moyenne de passage". As far as I understand it, this means your text is referring to the person in question only, to say that his/her average mark/grade was 65%.

"Hello from Toronto!
It seems the text means THE passing grade for all students, not HIS AVERAGE MARK."
> You have the full text and know which fits best.
"Why do you seem to reject PASSING MARK, or even PASSING AVERAGE?"
> Reject? I did not express any disagreement or take issue with either. I am not familiar with "passing" here as in the UK "pass" is used.
"I like to STICK (with Scotch Tape) to the source!"
> Quite rightly so too.
"Merci"
> You're welcome - Nikki
