help for NYSSMA level 5

Hello everyone. I'm hoping someone can offer advice:

1. info about clarinet lesson or teacher in Nassau County for 8th grader

2. suggestion on picking up a NYSSMA level 5 piece, relatively easier one please

My son's background here: He is a 8th grader now and preparing for NYSSMA level 5 now. He played Schumann Fantasy for last year's level 4 (25 out of 28 score?)
Generally, he is an average student for music and 1st clarinet in school only

As parents, we have no ideas for which reasonable piece for passing a higher level. The school teacher offered a list yet no suggestion. We have not talked with the private teacher yet, as he cancelled the 1st class.
We search youtube and listen to some pieces and some of them really scared us. However, we find Mozart K622 seemingly easy to study and play. It is actually a level 6. And my son likes k622 too.

So, our question is Can our son skip one level to level6 k622? And if not, in level 5, please provide advice on an easy piece?

We know we are not serious about music learning, no aim to put the kid to a level of college music student. Eventually completing NYSSMA level6 then All-Count, are our goal for kid's music education achievement.

Thank for your reading and please provide any advice or info.
Best wishes
