Another pretty graph from Funds for Learning, this one about the number of kids served in various discount bands. The FFL numbers seemed unbelievably high to me, so I looked into NSLP a little. Turns out the FFL numbers may be in the ballpark, though it is tough to say for sure, because there are a lot of ways to reach a 72% discount.
But I found this interesting tidbit: "Between 16 percent and 25 percent of those whose family incomes make them eligible for free or reduced-price meals are not certified." (http://www.fns.usda.gov/Ora/menu/Published/CNP/FILES/SNDA-FoodServ-Pt4.pdf, page 128)
So discounts should be even higher.
