Manteca Unified

The Manteca Unified School District in California serves 28 schools, including 21 elementary schools and 7 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 1142 out of 1568 districts in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. However, a few standout schools within the district demonstrate that high performance is possible, even in a lower-ranked district.

Sierra High School and Lathrop High School are the top-performing high schools in the district, both ranked in the top 600 high schools in California and earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. These schools boast high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and strong academic performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics, often exceeding district and state averages. In contrast, the district's alternative/continuation high schools, Calla High and New Vision High, struggle with significantly lower performance metrics.

At the elementary level, New Haven Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, often exceeding district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district, suggesting a need to address equity and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education, regardless of their school or socioeconomic background.
