AVID

Picture
AVID is a program for “middle to upper middle” academic students.  These students have the potential for honors and AP work in high school, but need academic and emotional support paired with rigor.  AVID combines rigor with support that includes the student’s own individual determination and support of teachers, other AVID students and their families, the AVID teacher, and university tutors. 

Requirements to be Accepted Into AVID 
  • GPA of 2.0 to 3.5 
  • Must come from an “underrepresented” group (see below) 
  • Must be able to complete four-year university requirements prior to graduation. 
  • Must be a hard worker, have a positive attitude, and be collaborative in nature.  
What AVID is Not 
  • AVID is not an “at-risk” program. It is a program designed to support students who would otherwise not attend a four-year university to attend and to graduate from a four-year school. 
  • AVID is not for students who don’t do any of their homework.
  • AVID is not for the consistently “D” or “F” student.
  • AVID is not a program for unmotivated students. They must have Individual Determination.
Statistically and Historically Speaking... 
It is much more challenging for students who meet one or more of the following criteria to gain acceptance into a four-year university as a freshman:
  • Students who came from a low-income family
  • Students who come from a single parent family
  • Students with parents who are not college graduates
  • Students who are “under-represented” racially, culturally or economically in colleges and universities.
