We used to think that the Sun was pretty average, as stars go, but recent researches indicate that there may be more - MANY more! - of the tiny red dwarf and brown dwarf stars than previously thought. Adding so many more tiny stars will skew the average lower, and it begins to look like the Sun may be more in the "above average" category.

But yes, essentially the Sun is a medium or "medium large" star.

The sun is a yellow dwarf star and as such is considered a medium-sized star. The term is something of a misnomer as the majority of stars are red dwarfs smaller than the sun. The term dwarf is used to distinguish how much smaller event the sun is than giant stars.
