Their rating should be 2050 USCF.

There’s no "should" when it comes to rating at 10-11 years old—everyone improves at their own pace! That said, here’s a rough guide:
Beginners (Just learning) → <800
Casual players (Plays sometimes) → 800-1000
Club level (Knows openings, tactics) → 1000-1400
Competitive juniors (Plays in tournaments) → 1400-1800+
If your standard rating is 1400 but blitz is 1000, it just means your slower, deeper thinking is stronger than your quick decisions. That’s totally normal! If you want to improve in blitz, work on tactics, time management, and pattern recognition.

It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's stupidman!!! First of all, I've played 15 games here so my 1600 rating means exactly nothing. What would YOU know about cheating with your highest rating being a measly 1300? Plenty of 1600 players have been "banned" from here for cheating. You don't know a thing. On my last account I was 1800-1900 rapid and faced numerous cheats including 3 in a 6 game stretch and 1 of them (drum roll!) was a 1600. Rapid here is infested with engines at higher levels (not that you would know) and I've played over 1400 games on lichess and faced 1 cheater so I'm pretty confident there's more here. They handle cheating way better over there and even restore your rating after the cheater is marked.
The only people cheating is your wife on you
I think the best rating for 10 - 11 is 1500 elo
I am 12 and my otb classical rating is around 1400
Same @nimzo-sicillian I also born on 4march2014
My rating is near 1000
If you are doing that well at that 11 years old, then you are doing great!
The skills that chess is teaching you can be used later on in school.
For example, the coordinates (e4, a2, etc.) on the chessboard are similar to the coordinate system in classes like algebra, trigonometry, calculus, etc. as well as in programming.

I was 1500+ USCF when i was 11. I started when i was 9.
When Gukesh turned world champion, prime minister Modi congratulated him personally.
India also pays their chessplayers very well; GM Hikaru complained about that recently.
People from India love chess.
So yeah an eight year old from India already deep into chess doesnt sound so unlikely.
