So those cheaters can’t cheat.

Seems like there was an ~8% increase in ED from class of 2025 to class of 2026.

40-50 cheaters?

Dang!

Guess you really shouldn’t have misrepresented your family on the application.

No verification was done for 2025 so who knows if the class of 2025 really has that percentage of FARMS

The question was still asked if you are ELIGIBLE for free/reduced price meals and the government has always had specific criteria for qualifying

We received free meals in the fall of 2021. My kids have received free meals from March 2020 until today. This fall, we will go back to paying for lunches. Are we currently eligible to receive free lunches? Yes, we are, just as everyone else is.

Well I don’t think the fact that every kid received free meals is going to suffice for TJ admissions. Documentation from a very specific list must be provided to verify eligibility for FARMS for purposes of TJ admissions.
