8th grade is too late to start lifting

I think our 9th grade goal was to bench 1.5 X's your weight... Not many people did it but that was the goal. I'd say for his size maybe 135? Just a guess.

His body weight or a little higher.

at 155, he should be able to push 125.

105-135
I was 6' and 220 lifting 215-235 at that age, but I was an anomaly.

How much is an average weight for him to bench press. He's 5'10" 155 pounds. He has a lift-a-thon tomorrow and I'm curious what 8th grade kids should be lifting at this age.
If he's just started then probably 100 to 135 lbs. I wouldn't really worry about it right now. His maxes will skyrocket over the course of the next two years if he consistently lifts. You should emphasize a lot of body-strengths exercises - push up and pull ups do wonders.

I was a "powerlifter" in Jr High (7th grade) and did around 165 to 185 on bench and 245-275 on squat. Weighed about 155.Don't quote me on that though. I remember working out with a plate and a 10 for bench and 2 plates for squats. That was working out not maxing out. Could have done more, just don't remember. I know I was one of the highest on squats.
They taught us a little past parallel on our squats.
