At the June 7 School Board Meeting, the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (CFBISD) School Board honored Polk Middle School for being named a National AVID Demonstration site.
Polk Middle School will be a National Demonstration School for the AVID Program for the 2018-2019 school year. This distinction is the highest honor an AVID school can attain. Through a rigorous process, only the top 3% of AVID schools achieve this honor. In total, only 193 schools globally have received this recognition.
AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination. The mission of AVID is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.
