Holy cow. Where the hell is this?
There are several local schools with this FARMs rate. Why so surprised? Broad Acres ES in MCPS has 94%.

Teacher generally finds out, but the info is kept confidential.

I am sure some of the office staff knows, but at our school, every kid, paying or free, "pays" for lunch by typing a 5 digit code into the register. So the other kids would have no way of knowing who actually pays and whose code gets them free lunch. It seems like a decent system.

In FCPS, only the cafeteria manager and the principal have access to the list.

At our charter parents turned in the farm app to teachers. It's not like I remembered or dwelled on it though...

Not true. I and any staff member can find that info in the database with a few keystrokes if I wanted to.

The cafeteria workers? The front office staff? The children's teachers (specifically thinking about elementary age students here)?
Just curious who is privy to this info.
Thank you.
