AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a proven national program designed to support and assist all students to succeed in a college preparatory path for admission to universities and colleges.
Who is an AVID Student? AVID students are students in the academic middle, capable of completing a college preparatory path with support. These students often are not realizing their full potential academically. In the identification process a number of criteria are considered, including: State Test Scores, Grades, Citizenship, Attendance, Desire and Determination, First in Family to Attend College, Historically Underrepresented in 4-year Colleges, Economically Disadvantaged, and Other Special Circumstances.
AVID students must:
Enroll in an AVID elective class
Enroll in one or more advanced academic class (Pre-AP or AP at the High School level and honors classes at the Middle Level) each semester maintain satisfactory citizenship and attendance in all classes
Maintain the AVID binder with assignment/grade record sheets and daily notes in all classes
Complete all homework assignments and commit to studying every night
What AVID Is Not:
a remedial program
a free ride
a school within a school
a quick fix
