The STaR Chart is a survey tool used by teachers and schools to evaluate their use of technology in teaching and learning. Teachers complete the online survey annually and schools analyze the results. The survey measures progress in four key areas: Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation, Leadership/Administration, and Infrastructure. Schools receive a rating between 1-4 based on their average scores. North Shore Middle School's statistics over three years show it receiving Advanced Tech ratings, with some Developing Tech ratings as well.
