Yes, rats can definitely jump.

As to how high rats can jump: in one research study, their vertical jump was 50.5 cm (20 inches) after one week of training, and 76.0 cm (30 inches) after eleven weeks of training. The researchers were training male Sprague-Dawley rats to study the changes in their muscles.

reference: Pousson M, Pérot C, Goubel F. "Stiffness changes and fibre type transitions in rat soleus muscle produced by jumping training." Pflugers Arch. 419(2):127-30 (1991).

Another answerer said: "They can jump vertically up to as much as 36 inches (91 cm) (3 feet). I have 2 pet rats and they love climbing and hopping from one thing to another."

another answerer said : I just got two pet rats and one of them jumped from a 3 feet high chest to my hand a foot away it surprised me
