East Union High

Summary:

East Union High is a public high school located in Manteca, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,593 students. The school is part of the Manteca Unified School District, which is ranked 1142 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Union High has consistently ranked in the lower half of California high schools, ranging from 798 to 1228 out of over 2,000 schools in recent years, and its SchoolDigger rating has fluctuated between 2 and 3 stars out of 5, indicating average to below-average performance compared to other California high schools. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well, but Asian, multi-racial, English Language Learner, and Special Education students performing poorly. East Union High's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the Manteca Unified School District and California state averages, and the school has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rate and an increase in its dropout rate, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, East Union High's performance is generally lower than Lathrop High and Sierra High, which are ranked in the top 25% and top 50% of California high schools, respectively. However, East Union High outperforms the nearby Calla High and New Vision High, which are ranked in the bottom 20% of California high schools. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds may contribute to its lower academic performance and higher rates of chronic absenteeism and dropout, and addressing these areas through targeted interventions and support may be crucial for the school to improve its educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
