Summary

Mossdale Elementary is a K-8 public school serving about 1,100 students in Lathrop, California, and is part of the Manteca Unified school district.

Within its own district, Mossdale Elementary stands out as a higher performer, achieving the best scores in English, math, and science among its six comparable Manteca Unified peers, including George McParland Elementary and Stella Brockman Elementary. It also has the lowest rate of chronic student absences in this group. However, when compared to nearby charter schools like EPIC Academy and River Islands Technology Academy II, which rank significantly higher statewide, a notable performance gap exists in the community.

The school's academic performance has seen some fluctuation over time, having been stronger several years ago, but it currently shows effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students relative to similar schools statewide. Parents may note that student performance varies by grade, with math being a particular strength in 3rd and 6th grades, while 8th-grade math scores are an area for improvement. The school operates with larger class sizes than some neighbors but manages its resources efficiently to deliver these results.

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
