I'd put Sandy and Plankton around the same at above average. Plankton isn't completely all talk ... he did go to college (unless that's something he lies about, which I wouldn't discount).
Squidward - slightly above average, but nowhere near as high as he thinks.
Mr. Krabs - completely average.
SpongeBob - a little below average but not a complete moron.
Patrick - a complete moron.
Also interesting to note: Patrick and SpongeBob both occasionally display savant-like skills.
Spongebob is a doofus but he's a borderline
genius. Albeit possibly of the "savant" variety, but in terms of everything BUT common sense, he's probably smarter than Squidward.
He's extremely artistic, absurdly musical, excellent at math, and displays near-photographic memory at times.

Even in the dumbed-down post-movie episodes, he was still smart enough to dismantle a car and end up building a functional rocket ship.
