Summary

East Union High serves grades 9–12 in Manteca, in Manteca Unified, and enrolls 1,524 students. SchoolDigger gives it 2 stars and places it at the 34th percentile statewide; the district has 1 star and is at the 16th percentile. Graduation is a relative bright spot: 94% of students graduated in 2025–26, compared with 88% statewide, although the school’s most important academic concern is math, where just 14% were proficient—25 points below the state.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to its district, while math is its weakest against both the district and state. In 2025–26, 46% were proficient in ELA, 11 points above the district but 3 below the state; in math, 14% were proficient, 9 points below the district and 25 below the state.

It scored above Weston Ranch High in all three subjects, but was well behind Sierra High.

Recent results warrant attention: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, East Union fell 5 points in ELA, 3 in math and 2 in science, while state results rose in all three. Over the longer period from 2022–23, math slipped by less than 1 point as the state improved, widening the state gap by 4 points. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile also declined from 47 in 2023–24 to 34 in 2025–26.
