Summary

East Union High is a public high school serving about 1,524 students in grades 9-12 within the Manteca Unified school district, offering a stable educational environment in a community where a majority of students face economic disadvantages.

The school has a distinct academic profile, performing notably better in English Language Arts than most other schools in its district and even slightly above the state average, but it faces significant challenges in mathematics, where its proficiency rate lags behind both district and state averages. This creates a unique strength-and-weakness pattern compared to nearby comprehensive high schools like Sierra High and Lathrop High. On a positive note, East Union maintains a strong graduation rate above 92%, outperforming alternative schools in the district such as Calla High and does so with more efficient per-student spending.

When looking at the broader landscape, East Union High sits in the middle of the pack within Manteca Unified, performing similarly to Weston Ranch High but below Sierra High. Its performance is also reasonable when compared to schools outside the district, like the more affluent River Islands High. Parents should note that support for specific student groups, such as English Learners and Special Education students, has shown significant variation from year to year, indicating a potential area for the school to focus on providing more consistent services.
