The Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program was offered in 10 high schools and 6 middle schools during the 2005-2006 school year. AVID began in the Austin Independent School District (AISD) in 1999 as a way of helping more students become eligible for college. Students who were considered academically "average," based on previous grades and test scores, and who often came from low-income and minority households that lacked a history of college education, were recruited into the AVID program. Students could take up to six AVID courses taught by teachers who were trained to use the AVID curriculum and other teaching materials to help students improve study and critical thinking skills. In addition to taking the AVID course, AVID students were placed in more challenging courses, such as honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. This report summarizes academic performance of students who participated in AISD's AVID Program in the 2005-2006 school year.
