The AVID program is now taking applications for the 2014-2015 school year. The deadline to apply is February 10, 2014. If you are an interested rising 10th or 11th grader please apply. The application is on Ridge View's website and on our AVID website.
AVID students are students in the middle, capable of completing a college preparatory or higher level path with some support. These students often are not realizing their full potential academically. In the identification process a number of criteria are considered, including:
- State Test Scores
- 2.0 - 3.5 or higher GPA
- Citizenship
- Attendance
- Desire and Determination
- Could be successful in Honors or AP courses, given the right support
- First in the Family to Attend College (this is just one determining factor and is not a requirement)
- Historically Underrepresented in 4-year colleges/universities
- Economically Disadvantaged (again, this is just one determining factor and is not a requirement)
- Other Special Circumstances
All factors are considered for acceptance into the program, so don't worry if one or more of these criteria do not apply.
