Del.icio.usKailua High School has succeeded in showing substantial progress toward college eligibility through the AVID program.
Advancement Via Individual Determination is an international, in-school academic support program for grades 4 to 12 that prepares students for college eligibility and success as it “closes the achievement gap.” It targets academically average students and those in minority, rural and low-income areas “without a college-going tradition in their families.”
Along with 39 other Hawaii schools, Kailua qualified as a nationally certified AVID school for 2008-2009, the DOE recently announced. The status signals that they met 11 benchmarks through a self-study and validation process that are “precursors” of future academic success.
