Possibility one is that you are not really A2 and their placement test sucks. Possibility two is that you are A2 but they are not limiting the class to A2 level of communication. Either way it is their problem since you are a paying customer. Talk to them. /opinions

I have experienced the same thing, probably because I spent to much time preparing an online placement test and getting ranked above my actual level. I still vividly remember the teacher sighing and digging up her best English (as I my TL was not good enough) to tell me I should probably drop a level or two. It was just a placement error by the school but it did feel really really bad, like a personal failure. I dropped a level and after some initial hard work catching up classes became fun and engaging as they should be. Don't get demotivated, don't compare yourself to your current classmates, go talk to your teacher and get reassigned to the right class for your level.

Ask if you can switch to a A1.2 class. Placement tests could be overestimating your level. Another thing you can do is invest more time and effort on your own to catch up.

Talk to your teacher.

Congratulations. You've learned the dilemma most Internet only language enthusiasts never face. Most people over estimate their abilities by far, and think they are 1-2+ levels ahead of reality. Placement tests often place you slightly ahead of what you realistically are so you are in a position of being challenged the entire time. You are most likely mid-A1. However, A2 should be hard, that's the point.
