AVID targets students in the academic middle — B, C, and even D students — who have the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard. Potential AVID students are capable of completing a rigorous curriculum but are falling short of their potential. AVID pulls these students out of their unchallenging courses and puts them on the college track: acceleration instead of remediation. Often times, they will be the first in their families to attend college, and many are from socio-economically disadvantaged families. In addition, ALL 9th grade AVID students are required to utilize Cornell Notes in ALL of their classes.
