[quote=Anonymous]So a lot of DCPS schools are classified as "99% FARMs" because the percentage of families qualifying for Free and Reduced price Meals is pretty high and the school therefore has "community eligibility" for Free and Reduced price Meals. This means all kids gets free meals and no one at the school has to prove eligibility. But the rate of families who would actually qualify certainly isn't 99% at a number of these schools. Does anyone know what the threshold is and how DCPS determines it if none of the families are actually applying for reduced price meals? 40% 60% 80%? Just curious, this is coming up in another thread. And I wonder if this "99% FARMs" categorization scares some people away from schools that aren't really 99% FARMs.[/quote]
