The STaR Chart is an online tool used in Texas to evaluate schools' technology integration in four key areas: teaching and learning, educator preparation, leadership and support, and infrastructure. Schools must complete the STaR Chart annually to assess progress, guide technology planning and budgeting, and qualify for state technology grants. Leon Elementary's STaR Chart ratings show its strongest area is infrastructure but its weakest is educator preparation, and it aims to improve all areas to reach the target technology level.
