About half of Michigan public school students (48%) were
eligible for free or reduced lunch during the 2011-2012 school
year, according to a report by the Michigan League for Public
Policy. In the Fall of 2006, just over one in three Michigan
public school students (36%) were eligible for the free and
reduced lunch program. Search this database to find the number
of students eligible for free or reduced lunch at Michigan
public schools. *** Identifies state schools or shared
educational entities. Note: Free lunch eligibility is based on
household income at or below 130 percent of the poverty level.
Reduced lunch is available to students living in households with
income between 130 percent and 185 percent of the poverty level.
For example, for the 2012-2013 school year, 130 percent of the
poverty level is $29,965 for a family of four; 185 percent is
$42,643. Data by school were collected in Fall of 2011. Source:
