The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 41.59% in the 2022-2023 school year, coupled with the school's below-average academic performance, suggests potential equity issues and the need to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students. Janesville Elementary's performance is generally lower than both the Janesville Union Elementary School District and the state of California across various academic measures, and the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.
