KEY WORDS: school performance, level of achievement, standardized tests, ICT skills, ICT experience, lag.

ABSTRACT:
The article analyzes the school performance of Chilean secondary school students in the areas of Language, Mathematics and ICT using the database of the SIMCE 2013 Survey. It also measures the contribution of technologies to the level of school performance, analyzing their impact, compared to other components of the student's socio-family profile. For this purpose, descriptive-correlational and Logistic Regression analyzes are performed. It is found that levels of school achievement are poor and are deeply segmented according to the student’s family income level. Although components of technological profile have an impact in this respect, the economic and cultural attributes are the structuring components of performance.
