Passing isn't as important as scoring well enough to get into the residency program you like.

I think better than 90% of all US allo med students at every school pass the USMLE. As the prior poster indicated since Step 1 is the biggest criteria used by residency directors, the goal for most is less about passing but more to score highly and get that residency of your dreams.

There is no official list. Some schools will tell you their pass rates when you interview with them. As other posters have mentioned, more than 90% of U.S. allopathic students pass on the first try.

Furthermore, schools Step 1 averages all tend to be pretty similar. Most people here seem to say that your step 1 performance is not related to where you went to school. Everyone is going to teach you the same information, how well you do depends on how well you prepare for it.
It's like picking a UG school based on MCAT averages. Wouldn't that be ridiculous?

Not if every single undergraduate student had to take the MCAT.

Passing rates of USMLE Step I are meaningless in the sense that if you attend a school with a 99% pass rate and you are that 1% that does not pass, you have a problem. As others have said, it's the USMLE Step I score that matters most.
Attending any medical school in this country can provide you with the material that you need to do well on USMLE Step I. It's up to the individual to master the material and rock the exam.
No matter which medical school (in this country) you attend, you can be the person who aces this exam with excellent preparation and mastery of your coursework.
