The AVID program aims to ensure all students succeed in rigorous curriculum and enter college. It focuses on helping less served students in the middle through an elective class, tutoring, and writing and reading curriculum to promote critical thinking. The program provides student support through collaboration, data tracking, and an active site team to increase schoolwide learning and performance. A typical AVID elective class week includes writing, career and college exploration, tutorials, and study groups to help students develop skills and habits to meet high academic standards.
