Lisa Meyer, AVID District DirectorDr. Steven Travis, Coordinator for Data AnalysisDeer Park Independent School District, Texas
AVID’s mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.

One day we asked ourselves….
What if we could compare AVID students to other students who are just like them; students who are demographically identical, but who are not in AVID?
3
We Tracked 2 Cohorts
• We collected data on 2 cohorts from 8th to 12th grade
Cohort 1 was tracked from 2008-09 to 2012-13 Cohort 2 was tracked from 2009-10 to 2013-14
• Our data analysis only included students who were:
Asked to join AVID in 8th grade Enrolled in our district from 8th grade through 12th
grade
4
AVID Recruitment:The Data-Driven Wide Net
• 75-95 Grade Average• Less than 10 absences• Less than 10 discipline referrals• Not already in PAP or GT classes• On track to graduate on a Texas
Recommended Graduation Plan
