According to BOL (SQL Server Books Online) on sp_dbcmptlevel,
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible. Use ALTER DATABASE Compatibility Level instead.
Now, the only TSQL way I know of checking database compatibility is through sp_dbcmptlevel. As far as I know, ALTER DATABASE Compatibility Level is just for setting the compatibility level, not getting info.
How should one to get compatibility level without using GUI?

Right-click the database, and then select Properties. The Database Properties dialog box opens. In the Select a page pane, select Options. The current compatibility level is displayed in the Compatibility level list box.
It's really simple to change the database compatibility level. In SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), right-click on the database name, select Properties, select the Options node, click on the drop-down next to Compatibility level and select the level that matches your SQL Server.
As of February 2016, Microsoft states: “[Database Mirroring] will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
