DEMITRA, AVID Elementary Student
"I've noticed big changes about me as a student, and I believe that AVID has played a big role in these positive changes. I find that I take more initiative and pride in my finished work."
VICTOR, AVID Secondary Student
"I believe that the AVID program makes up for what I call the empty zone - a gray area between student and teacher...The beauty of AVID is that it pulls these students from those zones and into success."
CYNTHIA, AVID Teacher
"I completely changed the way I teach. The students are learning in a different way. They're organized. They're taking notes. They're doing critical thinking and leveled questions."
CHRISTOPHER, Principal
"AVID is an outlook on education and how to best ensure that as many students as possible are empowered by educators with passion to change the way that they teach in order to reach the students who learn differently."
KAREN, Superintendent
"AVID allows us to bring high quality teaching and learning to all students. AVID has really increased our graduation rates and also our success rates for students who choose to go to college."
