Lou, you can always school choice your daughter back to Evansville if it is so great! Or move if you aren't happy with the Janesville School District. Smaller districts may have slightly higher scores, but they may not offer the variety of classes that Janesville can.
This doesn't surprise me considering Janesville Schools test scores compared to other local schools that was sent out earlier this year. Janesville was at the bottom with Sun Prairie, Milton, Evansville, and Beloit Turner were well ahead of Janesville. In my daughter's two years in the Janesville School District (soon to be her 3rd) I have not been all that impressed. I think she got a lot more education in Evansville.
Most parents are not going to see this as a "problem" because it is an expectation for them.
