Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID)
Advancement via Individual Determination
The mission of AVID is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college success in a global society. The AVID program is designed to increase the number of students who enroll in four-year colleges. Although AVID serves all students, in secondary schools its first focus is on the least-served students in the academic middle. The formula is to simply raise expectations of all students and, with the AVID support system in place, they will rise to the challenge!
How it works:
AVID is a grade 4-12 support system that is research based and proven to increase student academic success. At the high school level, AVID is an elective course that incorporates academic and social skills and targets the least served students. These students enroll in courses of high rigor, such as advanced placement classes and receive support in the AVID elective class to be successful. Each year at Elk Grove High School many graduates with the highest grade point averages and college acceptance rates are AVID students.
AVID Success at Elk Grove High School:
Over 90% of Elk Grove High School AVID graduates are accepted into a four year college. The others have chosen to enter the military or go to a community college. AVID graduates from Elk Grove High School are also scholarship recipients. We invite you to be part of the great tradition and success in the Elk Grove High School AVID program.
