Georgia Insights (GaDOE) Free and Reduced Price Meal Eligibility — the share of K-12 enrolled students eligible for Free

Georgia Insights (GaDOE) Free and Reduced Price Meal Eligibility — the share of K-12 enrolled students eligible for Free or Reduced-price Lunch (FRL) under the USDA National School Lunch Program, for every Georgia public school, district/system, and the state, fiscal years 2013-2026. A widely used proxy for student economic disadvantage. Eligibility is income-based per the USDA Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines: free meals at or below 130% of the federal poverty level, reduced-price between 130% and 185%; the combined FRL rate counts students up to the 185% threshold. This is the broad income/application-based eligibility measure — the automatic categorical-eligibility SUBSET (students certified without an application via SNAP/TANF/foster/homeless/migrant/Medicaid) is the companion topic direct_certification.

Filterable categorical columns (comma-separated values union; multiple columns AND together):

  • reporting_status — one of: not_participating, reported, suppressed_privacy_band

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

Year coverage: 2013–2026 (14 years, no gaps)

NULL handling: suppressed cells are NULL (not zero); zero is a real value.
