Program Description
The goal of the AVID program is to provide academic instruction and other support to students in order to prepare them for eligibility for four-year colleges and universities.
What AVID is:
- AVID is a program for "middle to upper middle" academic students who are "at-promise" and have the potential for AP and honors work in high school, but would in addition, need academic and emotional support paired with the rigor.
- AVID combines rigor WITH SUPPORT that includes first, the student's own individual determination, support of teachers, other AVID students, AVID teacher, school resources, and parents.
- Ability to maintain a 2.5-4.0 and good citizenship throughout the school year.
Some requirements to be accepted into AVID:
- GPA of 2.5-4.0
- Middle to high test scores (a few exceptions=outstanding EL students).
- Effort/Citizenship in all classes is good (P.E. is an excellent indicator of adequacy for AVID).
- Team player, "good attitude, collaborative in nature."
