State & Local Data

In the 2013-14 school year, nearly 95% of California’s low-income students attended schools that operated the School Breakfast Program. Unfortunately, the program only reached 35% of our low-income students. On an average day, over 2 million California students who are eligible for free or reduced-price schools meals miss out on the health and academic benefits of school breakfast. Some California school districts have substantially increased breakfast participation by changing when and where meals are served (for example, in the classroom and/or after the first bell).
