College Readiness
Through the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) Program, middle school students learn important lifelong skills such as organization, studying, communication, note-taking to help them excel in high school and beyond.

Additionally, most of our students meet academic requirements to take college classes as early as their 8th grade year, getting them ready to take full advantage of our nationally recognized PSJA Early College Program once they reach high school.

All of PSJA ISD high schools are designated Early College, which makes them innovative high schools that allow students to attend college and high school simultaneously. Early College High Schools offer rigorous instruction and provide academic, social and emotional support services to help students succeed.                            

Through PSJA ISD's nationally recognized Early College Program in partnership with South Texas College and other higher-education institutions, high school students can graduate with up to an Associate Degree or 60 college credit hours before their high school graduation.   

Approximately 3,500 High School students enrolled in College courses each semester through the PSJA Early College Program. Additionally, some of the district’s most successful programs, such as the Dual Language Enrichment Program, the Early College Initiative and Dropout Recovery Program have been highlighted at both the state and national level for dramatically enhancing post-secondary completion rates for Hispanic students.
