Summary

Lathrop High is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 with about 1,486 students in the Manteca Unified School District, known for its strong graduation rates and exceptional English Language Arts program that outperforms both the district and state.

The school's greatest strength is its success in English, where over 62% of students meet standards, a rate significantly higher than the Manteca Unified average. It also graduates over 94% of its students, a rate higher than nearby East Union High and Weston Ranch High. However, math proficiency is a notable challenge, with only about 21% of students meeting standards, which is below both the district and state averages and lags behind schools like Sierra High and the newer River Islands High.

While the school's statewide ranking has dipped recently, it remains an efficient and effective option compared to alternative schools in the district, such as Calla High and Yosemite School Community Day (7-12), achieving better outcomes with fewer resources per student. Parents should note the variation in performance among different student groups and consider the school's strong support for English learners alongside the ongoing need for improvement in mathematics and chronic absenteeism.
