| NOTE: The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program. To be eligible, a student must be from a household with an income at or below 130 percent of the poverty threshold for free lunch, or between 130 percent and 185 percent of the poverty threshold for reduced-price lunch. Approximately 10,920 public schools (or 11 percent) did not report information on the number of students eligible for free or reduced-price school lunch. These schools are excluded from the total. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. For more information on race/ethnicity, locale, and poverty, see supplemental note 1. For more information on the CCD, see supplemental note 3. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. |
