Notes

Free or reduced price meals are available to students whose families earn less than 185% federal poverty guidelines or are enrolled in other programs for low-income children, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Children in foster care or who attend schools using the Community Eligibility Provision are also eligible.

Data for the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years may be significantly different from other years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
