This percentage represents one student being chronically absent for both semesters. Due to such high attendance we had 100% of our students participate in state required testing, which is another indicator of the state report card.

The foundation for district-wide excellence is set at Janesville Elementary School, which has earned a rating of "COMMENDABLE" from the state, scoring above the state average and in the top half of the commendable ratings.
The elementary school had a perfect attendance score, earning 100 out of 100 possible points, meaning no student in the elementary school was chronically absent. This is an outstanding achievement that ensures our youngest learners are consistently in the classroom. We had exceptional participation in state assessments with 100% of our students participating in state tests across all subject areas.

Janesville Elementary and Janesville Junior-Senior High are both designated with "No Support Required" under ESSA, meaning we are effectively serving all our student subgroups, from kindergarten through twelfth grade.
With a combined enrollment of 439 students (196 Elementary and 243 Junior-Senior High), we maintain a small, focused environment where every student is known and supported. Our ratings of "HIGH PERFORMING" and "COMMENDABLE" confirm that Janesville CSD is successfully supporting all students from their first day of school to their graduation day.
Superintendent B.J. Meaney says, “We continue to be proud of our staff and students for their hard work and commitment to a positive school culture and successful academic outcomes. We continue to look for ways to grow and improve as a district while providing students growth and leadership opportunities.”
