AVID 7-12 Elective Class
designed for students who are falling short of their potential and need extra support to find success along a college pathway
supports student enrollment in rigorous courses through learning organizational and study skills, developing critical thinking, and participating in enrichment and motivational activities
elective students are typically in the academic middle, the first in their family to attend college, come from a demographic that is underrepresented at 4-year colleges/universities, and/or have a life-circumstance that may be preventing them from receiving the support they need to acquire the skills/strategies necessary to find success in middle school, high school, and college/career
