| Program Description (written by provider) |
| Huntington Learning Center has offered high quality, research based, supplemental educational services in Reading and Math to students in grades K through 12 for over 30 years. We have successfully provided services to Title I students, Students with Disabilities, and English Language Learners across the country. The instructional program that Huntington provides is based on sound educational research and decades of experience. Huntington adheres to an educational philosophy, which includes comprehensive testing, sophisticated diagnostics, time-tested curriculum, and individualized instruction. Every program begins with a diagnostic evaluation. Using the results of the diagnostic evaluation, an individualized learning plan is developed to identify and focus on each student’s specific academic needs. To guarantee effective individualized instruction, we instruct using a student-teacher ratio that will not exceed 6:1. Teaching sessions are typically 1.5 - 2 hours in length, 2 times per week for a minimum of 30 hours. |
| Evidence of Effectiveness (written by provider) |
For over 30 years Huntington Learning Centers, Inc. has provided high-quality academic services to students nationwide with great success. One of the measuring tools that Huntington employs to measure student’s progress is the nationally accepted California Achievement Test (CAT/5™). The CAT/5™ test content represents different cultures and covers a broad range of subjects, appealing to all students. The CAT/5™ was developed by CTB McGraw Hill under sound policies, procedures, and standards with the specific objective of ensuring a high degree of validity and reliability.
A random sampling of students serviced in Reading and Math at various levels from 2006-2009 nationwide demonstrates Huntington's record of effectiveness. The sampling evidences an increase in the average grade equivalency (GE) and percentile from the initial CAT/5™ to the final CAT/5™ in both subject areas. Included in the data results are students, students from Title I schools, English Language Learners, Students with Disabilities, low income, and underachieving students. In mathematics, for this particular sample, scores indicate that students increased an average of 2.7 GE or 25%. In reading, for this particular sample, scores indicate that students increased an average of 1.4 GE or 24% from their initial CAT/5™ test to their final CAT/5™ test. These results are based on each student completing a 30-hour program of instruction with Huntington. |
