I'm not trying to be cute or rude, I just don't understand how the scoring works. My oldest is in 7th grade and I only took the SAT so I have no idea.

Not really. The scores don't scale out that way. It roughly means he scored better than 93% of the people taking the test.
For example, Univ of Alabama middle 25% to 75% of admissions scored between 22 to 31 whereas Clemson the same range is 27 to 31 and MIT (not as much of a football powerhouse), the score range is 33 to 35.
