Accolades/Statements
By Jonathan Hickman's (current "head of x") definition of Omega Level Mutant Classifications, the upper limits of Jean's power (along with Quentin Quire) cannot be surpassed in any measurable fashion. Telekinetically, she seems to have been retconned as not an Omega Level Telekinetic like she used to. (House of X #1)

Jean being used as an example of the pinnacle of telepathic power. The Cuckoos mention that Pale-Girl is the "true Omega...more powerful than even Jean" in their bid to manipulate Quentin Quire. Xavier mentions that even wearing Cerebro, Pale-Girl is cloacked to him, except for a split second where he gets a very brief whiff of her, of which he said PG reminds him of Jean...but other, once again alluding to Jean's power. He also mentions Russia as a whole is blocked off for him, which may be due to PG.

Word of God statements
Matthew Rosenberg, after releasing Astonishing X-Men Annual vol 4 #1, commenting about how power scaling works on Twitter notes that though Jean is indeed the more powerful than Charles Xavier, there was more going into the comic than just Xavier choosing to mind-wipe Jean.Lonnie Adler, around the time of the Age of X-Man arc, answers this AiPT! X-Men Monday #15 Question: "Jean has been portrayed as the most powerful telepath–even more powerful than Charles Xavier. Is this an idea that you think should be maintained or would you rather return to the original status quo of Xavier being the most powerful mind on Earth?"Jonathan Hickman, head writer of the House of X era, confirms in AiPT! X-Men Monday #32 that the Omega Level List is set in stone. So, by his definition, Jean Grey's (and Quentin's) telepathy is unsurpassed with an unknown upper limit. It is unknown if this would change with Nate Grey's appearance or the appearance of a new psychic, but as of this era, Jean is the de facto Omega Level Mutant Telepath with Quentin Quire.Russell Dauterman, artist of Giant-Sized X-Men: Jean Grey+Emma Frost, makes it clear that he made Jean's powers distinctly bigger and more imposing in display compared to Emma to represent her Omega nature in an interview with Marvel.com.Jordan D. White, current Editor of X-Men Comics, answers a fan's question on Twitter, confirming that Jean Grey is the top telepath.
From the people who brought you multiple psychic respect threads........
Brief Summary
Jean Grey is an omega level mutant telepath with powerful telekinesis. Her powers first arose as a 10-12 year old girl (sources vary) when her best friend was hit by a car. The distress from the traumatic experience awakened her telepathic powers that caused her to link to her best friends mind and experience death through her best friend. As a result,her power and potential garnered the attention of Professor Charles Xavier, interest from Mister Sinister for her genetic potential, and potential as a host to the all-powerful cosmic entity of rebirth and destruction, the Phoenix Force. Her parents in the end called Charles Xavier by recommendation after Jean's suddenly withdrew socially from the trauma she experienced. Xavier helped her learn to cope and offered a place with him at his school after teaching her to learn to control her abilities. Thus, under the alias Marvel Girl, she then trained to become one of the first members and the first female member on the mutant team called the X-Men.
As mentioned before, Jean Grey is an Omega Level Mutant whose dominant power is telepathy. Due to the immensity of her powers and lack of control she had, Charles Xavier installed psionic barriers to block these abilities while she learned to control her telekinesis as it grew naturally. Soon, Xavier removed these blocks and gave her a crash course in telepathy for a plan involving an alien threat. Since then, her telepathy had a slow growth after complications involving the Phoenix that prompted Jean Grey lose her telepathics briefly and to hold herself back when they came back. In the late-90's to early-2000's though, Jean decided to explore the limits of her powers to become the Omega we know today.
