Summary

Guy Junior Emanuele Elementary is a K–5 school in Union City, part of New Haven Unified, with 746 students—the largest enrollment among the 10 nearby schools in the comparison. Its main academic concern is that results trail most nearby schools in all three tested subjects: in 2025–26, proficiency was 42% in English language arts (ELA), 39% in math, and 33% in science, compared with nearby-school averages of 58%, 56%, and 52%. The school ranked eighth of 11 in ELA and math and ninth in science, with its largest gap in science at 19 percentage points below the nearby average.

Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to California, but the advantage is slight: 39% proficiency was about 1 percentage point above the state and 1 point below the district. ELA was 8 points below the state, and science was 3 points below. Fourth grade is a bright spot within the school: its 52% ELA and 45% math proficiency were the strongest results across the reported grades and exceeded state results by 6 and 2 points, respectively, though they remained below district results. Even so, fourth grade ranked eighth among the 11 schools in both subjects.

Over time, math proficiency rose 9 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, moving from 4 points below the state to about 1 point above it, though it fell 3 points from the previous year. ELA rose 4 points over that period but dropped 5 points in the latest year; science rose 2 points while falling from above to 3 points below the state. SchoolDigger ranked the school 2,884 of 5,804 California schools in 2025–26, at the 50th percentile with 3 stars. Its 29.2:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25 was the highest among nearby schools, and 63% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year, versus a nearby-school average of 43%; this is an eligibility measure, not a measure of meal access. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well it serves Hispanic students fell to the 17th percentile in 2025–26, from 32 the year before, while its ranking for Special Education Students rose from the 19th percentile in 2023–24 to the 58th in 2025–26.
