Share of K-12 students directly certified for free school meals across Georgia public schools and districts, published b

Share of K-12 students directly certified for free school meals across Georgia public schools and districts, published by GOSA for fiscal years 2014-2024 (FY2024 = the 2023-24 school year). Direct certification is the automatic, categorical-eligibility subset of free/reduced-price meal eligibility — a student is directly certified because their household participates in SNAP or TANF, the student is homeless, unaccompanied youth, foster, or migrant, or (from FY2024) the household's Medicaid income is at or below the free/reduced-price-lunch standard — with no household application required. One fact table at three detail levels: school (one row per school), district (one row per district / system, including charters, state agencies, and State Schools), and state (the statewide 'State of Georgia' aggregate, published 2022-2024 only). From FY2020 the underlying numerator and denominator counts are also published. Merges the formerly separate direct_certification_school and direct_certification_district topics.

Filterable categorical columns: none

Detail levels available: districts, schools, states (default: schools)

Year coverage: 2014–2024 (11 years, no gaps)

NULL handling: zero is a real value.
