- As a student, due to family and finacal problems I was not allowed to graduate. But, I must say, as an eighth grade student plus what I learned through Humboldt School. I was able to pass my GED with a 97 % Grade without studying. I also passed teast and was able to receive 6 College credits and go on to San Mateo, Ca. College. The teachers there were all business and no horse play. I rate it a high TEN
