CONGRATULATIONS to US!!! Riverside Middle School is a 2025-26 AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) Schoolwide Site of Distinction - the highest certification rating a school can achieve within the AVID program! Earning this designation means that college- and career-readiness strategies are no longer limited to a single elective class; instead, they are embedded across the entire campus culture, instructional practices, leadership, and systems. It is an elite honor awarded to a very small subset of schools — typically only 2% to 6% of all AVID secondary schools nationwide.

To reach this status, a school must demonstrate exceptional fidelity to the AVID model through specific metrics monitored via the AVID Coaching and Certification Instrument (CCI):
- Deep WICOR Integration: Virtually all teachers across all subjects (math, science, history, etc.) actively utilize AVID's core WICOR instructional framework: Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading.
- High Staff Training Rates: A vast majority of the school's faculty and leadership are officially AVID-trained and implement uniform academic systems, like standardized note-taking and shared vocabulary.
- Measurable Student Impact: The school must prove that its culture promotes equity and opportunity. This is demonstrated by an increased number of students — especially those historically underrepresented — enrolling in rigorous coursework like Advanced Placement (AP) or honors courses.

Once again, CONGRATULATIONS to US!!!
