School report card data has been released and Clinton schools administrators say they did about how they expected.

Clinton Schools Superintendent Curt Nettles explains the designations are about the same as where they were except for the junior high school - which has improved out of being targeted. He notes the report card can be very complex.

Nettles indicates he is pleased with the initiatives and Director of Teaching and Learning Karrah Jensen explains while they need to take a critical look at the data, they also need to find areas to improve.

Districts throughout Illinois are dealing with an uptick in chronic absenteeism and Nettles points out there is always going to be a correlation between students not being in the classroom and their achievement. 

The full school report card data is available on the district's website.
