Nice! But I am eleven, With 95 WPM. It takes tons, and tons of practice. I just turned eleven.
Also, Good luck training!

Re: how is my speed?
Also, On a side note, Using home row will only get you to about 50, then it won't really get you any faster, I just learned the keys overtime, I went from 25 WPM, to 100 WPM in roughly a year. Just type a lot, and DO NOT, And I repeat DO NOT use home-row, Use touch typing, takes longer to learn, although once you learn it you should be able to get up to 125 WPM. (I'm learning it, and I almost mastered it, I hit 100s on my WPM, only a week ago I hit 90s/95s on my WPM test.)
More tips: Don't care about mistakes, except on massive words: (e.g. mountain, children, America, etc. etc.), Missing on those could cost you 1.6 WPM! Also, Don't, DO NOT look at the keyboard, except do it if you are just learning, Stare at the keyboard, learn your keys, then you MOST LIKELY, in a week skyrocket your WPM from 25, to 45-70.
That's just my advice. Also, Type more than 3 hours a day, so you can gradually gain speed. And, Posting on the forums (not spam), Could help you slightly with your words per minute!

Thats great but Practise more.
There are few free software that would help you in systematic practise and help you be error free.

Re: how is my speed?
I have to ask TheUltimate11YrOld about something you said in your last post on this topic: Why should he not learn the homerow method? Please explain to me, since I use it myself and I don't have any problems with it.
Re: how is my speed?
that is actually really good. I had about the same speed at your age. It took a year of not really practising at all to get to around fiftyish. I just turned twelve and have been practising on fast fingers all the time for about a month now and my fastest is now 95WPM. Practising will help you loads.
