Advancement via Individual Determination
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 schoolyear.
Some Requirements To Be Accepted Into AVID

· Middle to high scores on the CST’s (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.”
