This document discusses the results of a school's STaR Chart assessments over three years. It found fluctuations in scores across areas with consistently low scores in infrastructure for technology and online learning opportunities. The educator preparation and development area saw a consistent decline. An analysis committee will investigate the causes of weak areas and provide recommendations to address weaknesses.
