Manlio Silva School opened on August 1, 2005, initially serving 600 students from kindergarten through sixth grade.

TK classes have a maximum of 20 students, while grades K-3 average 24 students per teacher, and grades 4-6 have about 30 students per classroom teacher.

The school follows the Lodi Unified School District's Modified Traditional Calendar. It employs one full-time principal, a vice principal, a school counselor, a school psychologist, and a mental health clinician. Manlio Silva also has 44 certified employees, sixteen full/part-time classified employees, and a strong Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) with a growing number of parents who volunteer countless hours each year. The school seeks community partnerships and values opportunities that connect students to college and career pathways in support of the surrounding community.

Serving a diverse student population, Manlio Silva strives to personalize instruction and adapt to the unique needs of every student. The Silva community, consisting of faculty, staff, students, and families, is committed to fostering high achievement for all. We believe this can be achieved in a positive, safe, and effective learning environment that addresses academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs.
