Summary

Mossdale Elementary is a K–8 school in Lathrop, California, with 1,087 students in Manteca Unified; it has the second-largest enrollment among the 10 nearby schools in this comparison. SchoolDigger ranks it at the 27th percentile in California, fifth among those nearby schools. The most important finding for families is that its 2025–2026 test results were below state averages in all three subjects, and its gaps with the state have widened since 2022–2023.

Mossdale compares favorably with nearby schools in its district, but less well when higher-scoring nearby charter schools are included. In 2025–2026, it was about 6 points above the average for the other nearby Manteca Unified schools in ELA and science, and 9 points above them in math. Math is its strongest subject relative to the state: Mossdale was 11 points below the state, compared with 13 points below in ELA and science. Across all nearby schools, Mossdale was 6 points below the ELA average, 4 below in math and 5 below in science. Results also vary by grade: seventh-grade ELA and math were above state results by 5 and 4 points, while fifth-grade math was 21 points below the state.

Results have weakened overall: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency fell from 48% to 37%, math from 28% to 27%, and science from 25% to 23%. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 49th percentile to the 27th, and its rating went from 2 stars to 1. The student-teacher ratio was 27.1:1 in 2024–2025, the highest among the nearby schools; the others ranged from 23.0:1 to 26.0:1. In that same school year, 60% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the 61.1%–72.1% range at the other nearby district schools. A relative positive is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 17% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 18% and the district’s 22%. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings for student groups also differ from the overall result: African American Students were at the 51st percentile, while Asian Students and White Students were each at the 9th percentile, compared with 27 overall.

Open Quote When my son struggled in school the teachers and staff at Mossdale went above and beyond to help him. I think this is a great school. The only thing I think could be improved upon is the parent help and support for these hard working educators!! Close Quote
