The Student Teacher Accountability Reporting System (STARS) is an upgrade to the Accountability Data System (ADS) which provides greater functionality to schools, districts, and NMPED.
STARS is designed as an educational data collection and reporting model that builds upon the strengths of respective public education partners represented across state, district, and local levels.
It is thus a highly flexible model that incorporates a two-way flow of information: aggregating necessary data upward from respective schools and districts to the state to comply with state and federal reporting requirements and general systems management while providing disaggregated state data back down from the state to districts and schools.
That's where Level Data comes in!
