Although AVID serves all students, it focuses on the least served students in the academic middle. What is AVID?ĪVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a proven college-readiness system, part of the national AVID Center, that is designed to increase the number of students who enroll and persist in post-secondary education. Westside participates in AVID in both Middle and Elementary levels.
