Young Adult is considered for ages 16-24? I've never heard that in my life. In fact, I dare say that's blatantly untrue. Young Adult is targeted for adolescents. Teenagers, preteens, even. You're suggesting a fourteen year old is too young to read the Hunger Games? Despite a fourteen year old being a freshman in high school? I'm sorry, I really think you're wrong here.

I mean, absolutely, books that are simply too advanced in terms of reading comprehension aren't best placed in a primary school library. But I'm fairly certain plenty of sixth graders would be more than comfortable reading The Hunger Games.

And I'm not sure what you mean by kids not understanding dystopia? I reckon it's fairly simple to understand, especially how most YA books would portray them (which would tend to be fairly simple, good guys and bad guys). They're not preparing themselves to write a doctoral thesis, after all.

I mean honestly, your school sounds pretty damn strict. My primary school library had plenty of young adult books, especially if they were popular ones.
