Impact on AVID Students
Highlights from AVID Research:
AVID sends one third more students to four-year colleges
than the local and national average.
African American AVID students, whether they participate in
AVID for one or three years, are enrolling in college at rates which are considerably higher than the local and national average.
AVID students are staying in college once they enroll; 89%
- f those who started are in college two years later.
In short, the capital that students bring with them into the
program does not seem to be as important as the capital that the students accrue while they are in the program.
