Comparison Of College/Career Readiness Outcomes Between The Advancement Via Individual Determination (Avid) Program And The Traditional High School Academic Program, Sandra K. Day

Student Work

This study compared selected college/career readiness outcomes for students attending an urban high school who voluntarily participated in an academic support program, Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), to demographically similar/same school peers who completed the traditional academic program (TAP) of study. Grade point average, rigorous curriculum, and ACT scores are universally accepted predictors of college and career readiness and were the yardsticks used in this study.
