4. What AVID is not? AVID is… 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 commitment to the class.

13. Percent of Students Applying to, and Getting Accepted to Four-Year Colleges
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 n = 36,220

14. 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.

16. Opening access to Advanced Placement courses for all students, regardless of ethnicity or economic background, is essential to leveling the academic playing field.
