5305425889000 Sparrows Point High School: AVID ApplicationAVID stands for Advancement via Individual Determination. It is a college readiness system that prepares students in kindergarten through 12th grade for college eligibility and success. AVID is for all students but targets those in the academic middle and who are usually under-served. Its systematic approach is designed to support students and educators as they increase school-wide/district-wide learning and performance. AVID is not a remedial, niche or college outreach program. It is not a free ride nor is it a study hall. Students must learn and apply the skills they are taught in their AVID elective class as well as do the academically rigorous work required. Students who were in AVID in Grade 8 may directly move to AVID 9 in high school, upon Grade 8 AVID teacher recommendation.
