School Meals and Nutrition

School-level information about average yearly rates of student participation in school meals programs, including: school year, ULCS code, site ID, school name, student enrollment, average daily attendance rate, number of reachable students, average number of breakfasts and lunches served per day, and calculated breakfast and lunch participation rates. Food security files contain school-level information about household food security status based on responses about food security that appear on the parent/guardian Philly School Experience Survey (PSES). Schools that met the minimum response rate threshold for the parent/guardian survey are included. The data includes ULCS code, school name, survey response rate, the number of respondents who answered questions about food security, and the number and percentage of respondents who were classified as having very low food security, low food security, and high or marginal food security. Food security classifications were assigned according to procedures published by the USDA.
