Janesville public school officials are pleased with how students performed on the latest round of state tests, but room for improvement remains.

The Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exams are required under the federal No Child Left Behind legislation. Each test taker receives a grade of "minimal," "basic," "proficient" or "advanced."

Most Janesville schools hit their targets in reading and math this year. The target in reading was 74 percent. Jackson and Wilson elementary schools fell 2 percentage points below the target in the fifth grade.
