Children in lower income households face higher rates of dental disease and other health conditions than those in higher income households. Free and reduced price lunch eligibility is used as an alternative measure to identify the percentage of children within public schools from lower income households.

Data Notes

Data include the number and percent of public school students eligible for, but not necessarily receiving free and reduced price lunch.
Income eligibility guidelines may change on a yearly basis, however it is possible to compare overall changes in the percent of free and reduced price lunch eligibility over time.
School districts change over time and may be eliminated, added, or combined.
Schools in this dataset do not include: non-public and charter schools, schools not enrolled in the National School Meal Program, or special schools and programs (e.g. online schools, special education, deaf and blind schools, area learning programs, juvenile detention and corrections programs, and hospital programs for mental health and chemical treatment).
