In some pages it says the highest Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level is 12 but I got
12.6. What is the reason?

It's strictly math, so you could work up most any score you desire, see
below for explanation.

Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level test
This test rates text on a U.S. school grade level. For example, a score
of 8.0 means that an eighth grader can understand the document. For most
documents, aim for a score of approximately 7.0 to 8.0.

The formula for the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level score is:


(.39 x ASL) + (11.8 x ASW) – 15.59
where:

ASL = average sentence length (the number of words divided by the number
of sentences)

ASW = average number of syllables per word (the number of syllables
divided by the number of words)
