I've had one ticket in my life and I got that reduced to a charge that wouldn't affect my insurance by taking the class thing. It was nothing, just show up and be bored for awhile. Still had to pay cost of court but at least my premium didn't increase and I can say that I've (technically) never had a ticket for a moving violation. I wouldn't care about that except that it does matter when dealing with insurance.

How high would it go if I just paid it? Also how do I find the class?

I don't think one ticket is very bad.  You'll get a small increase, probably around $100 or so for the year, but it varies depending on the company and the region.  It's impossible to say.  I mean, for example, I pay more because people where I live hit a lot of deer.

The bigger deal, in my opinion, is that it will be on your record if you're unlucky enough to get another one.  

Maybe call your insurance rep for some advice?

I have no idea about the class thing, that's totally going to depend on how your city/county does things.  I talked with the court clerk, I think, to set up my class.
