10. Conclusion The results of the STaR Chart Survey for Anderson Elementary reveals that Anderson has all Advanced Tech classification in all areas for 2009. This indicates that Anderson is on the right track and has shown improvement in most categories. The only area that has suffered a setback and has not shown improvement is the Leadership, Admin area. I recommend that Anderson concentrate resources to improve this area and ultimately reach Target Tech classification for all areas.
