There are many things I would like to do in scratch but can't because scratch isn't capable. I also prefer not to make many large games because it takes up too much time.
Really, you have to try some real programming languages (like java) before you can rate yourself as a programmer. Scratch does a bad job of teaching the finer points of programming.Ok, as a general programmer your 6-7, but as a scratch programmer your 10-11.
I'm probably 7. I understand a lot of the stuff just I don't make that many games.I actually think that you are very, very good for your age. I mean, you are lets say, 12 years old and you are dealing with arrays and formulas, which is pretty good.
The one thing I suggest if you want to continue programming is ditch scratch. Seriously, you have learned all that is possible, any further attempt to learn programming from scratch would hurt you and cause you to develop really bad habits.
For example, you array collision project, it is very good for scratch but in other languages you can use multi dimensional arrays which are more efficient. Also, those sensing sprites everyone uses, there are other resources in other languages that can replace those sprites.
I really recomend you give greenfoot a try.
http://www.greenfoot.org/
It teaches you how to program interactive project in real java (no blocks or whatnot) and it really gives you a good understand of how to program. It will be much harder to learn but it will be much more rewarding.

Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

In general programming 1-3 out of 10 (I haven't seen you do other programming things, if you can show me other things you have made that number can change)
In scratch game programming 7.5-8 out of 10
Again this is based on what I have seen. It is possible that you have a super amazing piece of coding somewhere on your hard drive that would boost you score.
The best scratch game on the website would probably score an 8.5 - 9 and would probably be either archknight's adventure or archery champion.
It is very difficult to create a quality game in scratch. Scratch is very good at simple projects but is just horrible at making large commercial type games.
I am investing an outrageous amount of time into programming super smash scratch which should be about 9.5- 10 out of 10. I really do feel the limitation of scratch, laggy block movement, poor cpu efficiency, difficulty to handle long scripts, and the list goes on.
I know what you mean with the laggy blocks and long scripts. My game of life I have been working on gets really annoying because it takes one minute to put one block in
