Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton School District is made up of three picturesque communities; the most northern community is nestled at the southern end of Lake Elysian, offering beautiful scenery. Waldorf and Pemberton are both wistful farming communities framed by grain elevators, coffee shops, "Ma and Pa Stores" and many other amenities. Janesville, Waldorf, and Pemberton offer a variety of services, shops, and restaurants which will meet most needs and wants.

All three communities offer relief from hectic city life but also provide convenience as bedroom communities to access larger cities. Waseca, Owatonna, Mankato and Albert Lea offer combinations of shopping, entertainment, and restaurants. Rochester is within easy driving distance giving access to world-renowned medical treatment. Minneapolis and St. Paul are a quick 90-minute drive north with the entertainment of professional sports, symphony orchestras, and an international airport.

Residents who live in and around the three communities have sufficient opportunities to play golf, fish in their favorite lake, or participate in community recreation activities.
