[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A ha! I have an answer! It seems that farms rates are not a good indicator of poverty level after all! There is not a direct correlation. Farms rates do tend to be much higher than poverty rates. http://nces.ed.gov/blogs/nces/post/free-or-reduced-price-lunch-a-proxy-for-poverty[/quote] The reduced lunch portion does make sense. Northern Virginia doesn't have any schools that have qualified and elected to provide free lunches to all students so that wouldn't apply here. The "special circumstances" might explain some of it (migrant and foster children, etc.) Not all of it, though - the page lists Head Start students, but in NoVa Head Start is income based and the limits are below the poverty line unless that's changed recently.
