The CLASS customer service phone team receives a steady stream of requests for help and guidance. For example, some of the most common questions that families ask are...

Normally we will just continue your student’s current curriculum track. As long as they are able to fulfill the math and science requirements for high school graduation, it should not be a problem. Our Curriculum Department makes sure that the courses assigned for high school earn credits toward graduation. If, however, your student is considered to be a Special Status student, having been assigned coursework that is more than two years below grade level, you might want to work to catch up. If a student remains a Special Status student throughout high school, they will not receive a diploma but a Certificate of Completion at the end of twelfth grade. |

We use the 1970 edition of the CAT for a variety of reasons. First, it has proven to be a reliable measure of a student's achievement level in both math and language skills. Newer tests that include subjects like history and science are often testing the political correctness of a student’s views—not his achievement level. Second, our test was nationally normed in 1970. Subsequent standardized tests have often been "adjusted" to mask the failure of the public school system. (Why expend the effort to actually teach if you can get good test results by changing the test?) Third, in an effort to control all education, some school districts forcibly inject themselves by requiring "professional educators" to administer achievement tests. We own the right to reprint the 1970 CAT and therefore can authorize you as parents to administer the test. |
