Both younger and older students with low reading comprehension scores need additional assessment of decoding or language comprehension. Informal assessments of decoding skills are readily available and easy to give, unlike assessments of language comprehension. Therefore, it is generally easier to give decoding assessments and estimate language comprehension than the other way around.

This site holds preschool, kindergarten, and first through eighth. We have a separate high school site. Choosing a level (on My EP) will set reading, language arts, math, computer and logic, any of which can be switched to a more appropriate level without affecting the others. Choosing a theme enables all of your children to study the same topic at the same time. The themes are based around the history courses of ancient history, early American history, geography and cultures, and modern history. Music and art are part of these themes and science is set to what would typically be studied at the same time.
I was contacted by someone working for badcredit.org. They were writing an article on Easy Peasy. EP has been mentioned in news articles outside the homeschool universe before, but this is the first time that I know of that an article has been dedicated to EP. I thought it was neat that EP is going out to a new audience. You can do a favor and just click on the link to help boost its searchability to help people find the article.
@Cat No experience with American School, but a couple of suggestions: (1) Check with the Admissions offices, of any universities your DC might want to attend, to see how they would react to someone with a diploma from American School. (2) Keystone: I seem to recall reading a thread, probably here on WTM, many months ago, by someone in California, that the UC system stopped accepting their credits. And, when I contacted them, last year, the person who responded to me could not tell me which BBB they are a member of. Our experience is with TTUISD, and you wrote that you are familiar with the various universities that offer High School Distance Learning. I think I read that American School allows "open book" examinations. That is 180 degrees from TTUISD, which requires an "Approved Proctor" for Final Examinations. My wife and I consider "open book" examinations to be very poor preparation for taking PSAT/SAT/ACT, military entrance examinations, pre employment examinations and examinations in a university. You are correct, the price of American School is extremely low, and sometimes things that are very inexpensive can be excellent, but you really need to investigate, thoroughly, any school(s) you are seriously contemplating.

I used the American School for my oldest. The big drawback is that the course were very boring. After a few courses of just reading the texts, filling the tests and sending them off my daughter was ready for a change. So her last 2 years she dual enrolled at the community college and never finished the American School even though we had paid for it. She did Biology with lab, and the lab was just ok. It cost about 80 extra and was not very extensive. On the other hand my other daughter did Biology in public school high and the lab was pretty lame for that too!
Some courses are better than others, especially the ones that used "school" textbooks and not texts written specifically for the American School. The best courses we did were physics, earth science, algebra I & II and geometry. I like the McDougal Little texts they use for math and am going to reuse them with my other kids. I will probably re-use the physics too (Conceptual Physics). The daughter that we used this with really needed to have someone other than me grade her work, which is why we went with it, and it was what she needed at the time.
My 15yo is finishing his first year with American School right now. I looked at a lot of options last year and came to the conclusion that my ds is not particularly academic (he's very bright but not overly interested in doing schoolwork) and not very motivated. He wanted something that he could get done to meet the requirements and get into college, but there was no particular area that he wanted to dive in deep with and explore. I didn't want to spend the year trying to cajole him into reading and discussing with me, and he didn't want to do an on-line course with lots of discussions. With my lack of experience homeschooling high school (my oldest went into the state schools a few years ago), the fact that I have two younger kids to educate, my dh's desire for ds to get an official transcript from a real school, and the high cost of some of the on-line options, we decided to try American School. We only signed up for one year because we didn't want to be committed to four and discover that we didn't like it.
I used American School for my two oldest. Both had full time jobs throughout high school and just wanted to get it done. I will add that in biology, Brit lit, and a few other courses the open book tests were not easy. They aren't copying it out of the text. The answer is in the text but not spelled out for the student. They have to take the knowledge from the text and apply it. Overall it was fine- boring mostly. But they both got their diplomas in 3 years. My third son goes to public school and next year my daughter starts high school. I did consider it for her but she is thriving using the wtm methods so we are doing high school on our own by the book.
Imagine, if you will, your student in a traditional brick and mortar public school classroom situation, or, at home, distance learning, with the same textbook, from TTUISD or another university high school. Your student at home is going to study (hopefully) at least one hour, each day, for each subject. How much time would your student be learning, in a traditional classroom every day? 10 minutes per subject?
Thanks for posting your experiences with American School. I particularly appreciate it that you described the tests, because I was wondering about them. I assume that some are easy, others are moderately difficult, and some of them are pretty tough, just like in any high school program. I like it that they have to apply the knowledge in the textbooks, not just regurgitate information (although I'm sure there's some of that, too! ;)) I don't think my ds will mind the "boring" part, because he's a kid who wants to know what he has to do, and then get it done. He's not going to be hopping off on rabbit trails for most of his subjects. He would rather get his schoolwork done, and then pursue his own interests, rather than delve deeply into every school subject. He's more of an independent learner in that way.
I will be quite relieved when I finally make a choice about ds's high school program. I have always had a relatively easy time making decisions in the past, because I always figured that if one option didn't work out, I could always switch to something else, but I don't want to do a lot of jumping around between programs for high school, as I don't want ds's transcripts to be such a mish-mash of so many different things that the college admissions people will think he's a flake!
