Flew a 172M (1976 150 HP model) the other day. Back of a fag packet performance was :


1000 fpm climb solo (155 lbs of pilot)
700 fpm with instructor (+ 220 pounds of instructor)

Full fuel both times, and approximately similar weather, but obviously near gross weight, you are going to lose some climb rate.
