— Data Missing.
1Includes outlying areas,
Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Department of Defense schools.
2These percentages should
be interpreted with caution; four states (AZ, IL, TN, and WA) did
not report free and reduced-price lunch eligibility and are not
included in the national total. Also, states may not have reported
students eligible for reduced-price meals and a number of states
reported participation instead of eligibility data which may not
be strictly comparable. See Methodology section for further description.
Percentages are based on those schools that reported.
