Lathrop west of Interstate 5 is the second fastest growing area in the Manteca Unified School District behind neighborhoods south of the 120 Bypass in Manteca. And despite the limited ability to raise construction money through community facility districts as the City of Lathrop opted to allow developers to reduce their out-of-pocket of financing infrastructure such as sewer and water line as well as streets via the CFD mechanism, the district has the ability to accommodate 997 more elementary students and 466 more high school students based on program capacity.
