Raskob Day School serves bright students with academic difficulties in grades 2-8. Students are accepted into our Elementary or Middle School Programs who are of average or above average intelligence, and whose learning differences make it problematic for them to experience success within a regular classroom or school setting. Raskob students meet the criteria for determining the existence of a specific learning disability. Specifically, a child is determined to have a learning disability if:

The child does not achieve commensurate with his or her age and learning ability levels; and
Evaluation indicates that the child has a severe discrepancy between achievement and intellectual ability in one or more of the following areas:
Oral expression
Basic reading skills
Math reasoning
Written expresssion
Math calculation

Admissions
Parents who wish to enroll their child should follow the application and admissions process described in the Admissions Procedures. In reviewing applications and test results for placement in the Day School, some factors taken into consideration are:

Age: The age range for acceptance is 7 through 15 years upon graduation. Please note that Raskob will only be able to offer early primary grades (1st and 2nd) if a minimum number of qualified applicants is received. It is imperative that there be an adequate peer group for our students at every grade level.
Grade Placement: Individual educational programming is part of Raskob Day School. Small groups are formed within the classroom according to individual educational needs. The basis for forming these groups is the functional academic level of each individual student. Grade placement follows the normal progression. Once a student is enrolled, retention or \"skipping a grade\" are not parts of our policy.
Behavior: Raskob Day School does not accept students who demonstrate moderate-to-severe behavior or emotional problems.
Family Participation: Special programming requires not only the child's presence at school, but also family involvement. As we share a responsibility with you in promoting the total development of the child, it is absolutely essential for parents/guardians to attend individual and group parent conferences and meetings, and a series of parent trainings, as well as to support the school activities.

Confidentiality of Information
All information concerning your child's academic and psychological records and progress reports are confidential under Federal and State laws (Public Laws 94-142 and 93-380) and California Laws, Chapter 1229, States of 1974.) These reports may not be distributed to any professional or other persons who are not a Raskob Institute/Day School staff member without the written consent, in advance, by the parents or legal guardians of the child, under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, except by court order.
