Publication in grad-level journals question please help (Should i ask them if i can publish there?))

So i found actual grad-level journals that are good and could publish my research for free

https://link.springer.com/journal/10916/articles

https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/23528729/current

https://link.springer.com/journal/44174

they dont explicitly say if they publish high schoolers or not (i wrote and did it on my own)(computational project) but have a uni prof mentor helping me

since they dont explicitly say whether or not they take high schoolers, and it doesnt look like any have published in it, should i first email them asking if they will? thing is they might assume that a high schoolers research would be trash and automatically say no without looking at my paper, but if i just submit it they would see the research and be convinced that its worthy of submission?

anyone have guidance on what i could do
