MHS AVID Criteria.pdfIndicator 1: Defined Selection Criteria
Indicator 1: Defined Selection Criteria
Our district works together to define the AVID criteria in order to build county wide consistency for our students and families.
AVID students consistently work hard in the classroom and engage with teachers, peers, and the content they learn. AVID students set short and long-term goals for themselves. They continuously raise the bar to elevate their own standards and pathway forward in life. Their end goal centers around success (for that individual) whether it is a four-year college, two-year college, vocational school, the military, or straight into a career pathway. AVID students need to embrace challenges as they will be pushed through a rigorous course load that will include honors courses along with AP classes or college-level courses (either online of face to face through dual enrollment at COA). (AP and college classes are for high school students only.) AVID students need to have a 3.0 weighted GPA or higher and they must maintain that standard throughout their time in the AVID program.
Students re-apply to stay in the AVID program next year and rising freshmen apply and are interviewed from the middle school.
