Mostly yes — the main issues are punctuation and writing the digit as a word. Corrected versions:
- Looking at the zero on his test, the boy said, "Well, I'm a genius."
- Slightly more natural: When he saw the zero on his test, the boy said, "Well, I'm a genius."
- More concise: Seeing a zero on his test, the boy said, "Well, I'm a genius."
Notes:
- Spell out "0" as "zero" in running text.
- Put a comma after said and the closing punctuation (period) inside the quotation marks in American style.
- The opening participial phrase ("Looking at the zero...") is fine here — it correctly modifies "the boy," so it's not a dangling participle.
