In our school in the desh they subsidized the Mensa test -- so the whole class took it. The majority in my class was FC. Definitely the total % of all non FC groups was below 10%.
Roughly between 15-20% of the class of ~100 had IQ >=130. There were of course a few high IQ individuals including one who is probably a member of this forum whose IQ was above 160. I do not know if these IQs are on the Stanford-Binet or Wechsler scales. But they correlated well with who had enough GRE scores to get admission into middle or higher US universities.
In the world people with IQ 130 are in the 97.5 %tile range. I suspect a school like ours was enriched for students above a certain IQ due to the entrance exams.

15% of the class above Mensa levels implies an Avg IQ of 115 = Ashkenazi levels
So, I do feel my numbers are conservative, given enough nutrition and decent schooling
