JCSD Shines in Iowa School Performance Profile Results

Janesville CSD has once again demonstrated its commitment to excellence, earning High Performing marks in the latest Iowa School Performance Profile results. This achievement reflects the dedication of our students, teachers, and staff to creating a thriving academic environment that supports all learners.

The Iowa School Performance Profile is a vital tool developed by the Iowa Department of Education to assess and communicate the performance of schools across the state. The profile evaluates schools on a range of metrics, including student achievement, academic growth, graduation rates, attendance, and college and career readiness. It also highlights areas of equity, focusing on closing gaps among student subgroups.

The profile is part of Iowa’s implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), a federal law aimed at ensuring every student has access to a quality education. ESSA emphasizes accountability, equity, and continuous improvement, and the performance profile reflects those priorities by identifying schools that are excelling and those needing targeted or comprehensive support.

JCSD’s high-performance status is a testament to our community’s shared commitment to education. It highlights the hard work of our students, the innovative teaching strategies employed by our educators, and the unwavering support of our families and community members. Superintendent Meaney gives credit to the staff, "Our teachers deserve a lot of credit. Our teachers have embraced the math and literacy initiatives in our district, and created an environment for students to succeed at high levels. I want to thank them for all of their hard work, and congratulate them on this accomplishment!"

These results inspire us to keep striving for improvement. While we celebrate this success, we remain focused on ensuring every student at Janesville CSD has the opportunity to achieve their full potential. The Iowa School Performance Profile not only serves as a report card but also as a roadmap for continued growth and equity in education. "We will continue to identify need areas and work to make them strengths. Student attendance, work based learning opportunities, math growth and more will continue to influence our work!" reported Superintendent Meaney.
