AVID
AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a college readiness program designed to help students develop the skills they need to be successful in college. The AVID program was started in Robbinsdale Area Schools in 2006-07 and currently serves students in grades 7-12 at Plymouth Middle, Robbinsdale Middle, Sandburg Middle, Armstrong High School and Cooper High School.
The program is designed to increase overall academic performance, success in rigorous curriculum, and participation in activities at school. AVID helps students become better educated, responsible citizens and leaders in society.
