Summary

EPIC Academy is a top-performing K-8 public charter school in Lathrop, California, serving about 1,025 students and consistently ranking among the best schools in the state.

The school's academic results are outstanding and far exceed those of other local schools; for example, nearly 80% of students are proficient in English and 74% in math, compared to rates as low as 24% and 12% at some nearby schools in the Manteca Unified district. This excellence is consistent across all grade levels, with 8th graders achieving over 94% proficiency in English. Furthermore, students attend school regularly, with a chronic absenteeism rate of only 8%, which is less than half the state average and much lower than at surrounding schools.

Remarkably, EPIC Academy achieves these top-tier results while spending less per student than most comparison schools, demonstrating efficient and effective practices. It is part of the highly-ranked EPIC Academy District and, along with other local charter schools like River Islands Technology Academy II, forms a cluster of high-quality educational options in the Lathrop area.
