I plugged it into a couple of free readability analyzers and got 10th - 12th grade reading levels.

https://charactercalculator.com/readability-checker/

- Reading Level: 10th to 12th grade

- Reading Score: 59.00

- Reading Note: Fairly difficult to read

https://hemingwayapp.com/readability-checker

- Readability checker: Grade 10; OK. Aim for 9.

- 5 of 19 sentences are very hard to read.

- 6 of 19 sentences are hard to read.

There are some poor word choices[1], but yes, all in all this 7th grader is definitely writing above grade level. Hopefully his English teachers give him feedback pertinent to his demonstrated ability.

[1] - E.g. "That’s not to say a school’s system is necessarily completely ineffective. Last year, my school had left unblocked the spammy-sounding Unblocked Games 66."

would be easier to understand if re-written as:

"That’s not to say a school’s system is completely ineffective. Last year, my school failed to block the spammy-sounding "Unblocked Games 66.""
