Why did these schools not qualify for free meal service for all students?

Schools qualify for full school meal funding based on federal or state program eligibility requirements. To qualify for federal funding, at least 40% of students enrolled must qualify for free meals through the various federal programs. State funding is only available for elementary schools. Because the above schools do not meet the federal funding requirements, they will serve paid meals.
