Summary

Sequoia Elementary is a public elementary school in Manteca, California, serving 845 students in grades K-8. Despite being part of the Manteca Unified School District, Sequoia Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools based on the statewide SchoolDigger ranking.

Sequoia Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 24.78% in English Language Arts and 14.6% in Math, compared to 36.6% and 22.45% for Manteca Unified, and 48.81% and 37.3% for the state. The school also struggles to support its diverse student population, with lower rankings for subgroups such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners. Particularly concerning is the school's performance for special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which ranks in the bottom 40-50% of California elementary schools.

Interestingly, Sequoia Elementary performs significantly worse than the other elementary schools in the Manteca Unified School District, including Shasta Elementary, Stella Brockman Elementary, and Veritas Elementary, which stands out as a higher-performing school within the district. Despite the school's academic struggles, Sequoia Elementary's spending per student is lower than the district average, suggesting potential issues with resource allocation and distribution within the Manteca Unified School District.
