5. What AVID is not? AVID isn't a remedial program. AVID isn't a free ride- it is a rigorous course with high expectations AVID isn't a placement program. AVID isn’t for those students who do not want to attend college AVID is not a behavior correction program AVID is… A college readiness system designed to increase the number of students who enroll in, attend, and complete a four year college or university degree program. This is a one year class.

11. One of the most impressive and consistent indicators of AVID's success is the rate at which it sends students to four-year colleges. AVID Senior Data Collection 2012-2013. n = 36,220 Percent of Students Applying to, and Getting Accepted to Four-Year Colleges

12. Completion of Four-Year College Entrance Requirements AVID students complete university entrance requirements at a much higher rate than their non-AVID peers. AVID closes the achievement gap. AVID Senior Data Collection. Study of 27,771 AVID seniors (2013- 2014).

13. AVID Center. AVID Senior Data Collection. (2012- 2013). Study of 34,229 AVID Seniors.

14. Opening access to Advanced Placement courses for all students, regardless of ethnicity or economic background, is essential to leveling the academic playing field. AVID students, who take many AP tests every year, show greater ethnic diversity than AP test takers do overall. The proportion of Latinos taking AP exams is almost five times higher among AVID students than among U.S. students overall. AVID Center. AVID Senior Data Collection. (2013-2014). Study of 94,211 AVID seniors. The 9th annual AP report to the nation. (2013). Retrieved from http://apreport.collegeboard.org/download-press-center. The 8th annual AP report to the nation. (2012).
