How much the mix changed

Between 2001-02 and 2005-06 the makeup of this school barely moved.

Share of students certified for free or reduced-price meals, through a household application or an automatic match. The lighter lines show the district overall and the district middle schools, for comparison. Some districts serve free meals to every student under the Community Eligibility Provision. Those districts often stop collecting household income forms, so their reported share can run below the number of low-income students they enroll. Source: NJDOE Fall Enrollment.
