AVID is designed to increase the number of students who enroll in four-year colleges. AVID focuses on students in the academic middle, who are getting by with C's and B's but have the potential to do better and the drive to work hard to get to college.

What AVID® is...

• AVID is an acronym that stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination.
• AVID is an in-school academic support program for grades 5-12 that prepares students for college eligibility and success.
• AVID places academically average students in advanced classes.
• AVID levels the playing field for minority, rural, low-income and other students without a college-going tradition in their families.
• AVID is for all students, but it targets those in the academic middle.
• AVID is implemented school wide and district wide.
