Free and Reduced Lunches

Kids that live in more of a poverty affected house tend to suffer more when it comes to school. The graphs we are analyzing proves that kids suffering from poverty in their homes and the kids eligible for free and reduced lunch meals tend to do worse on tests and quizzes. The kids that grow up in a richer family or a family in the middle class they tend to do better on tests and quizzes in school. They also notice how younger kids are more affected by this than older kids. This may be because, while kids are younger they spend more time in their home setting and they may not get out as much as older kids tend to do. The graphs show that older kids tend to do a little better in classes whether they are eligible for free and reduced meals or not. This is due to kids gaining knowledge over the years but you can still see the difference in their level of intelligence. Even though they seem to be getting smarter they still struggle compared to the other kids of the same age that are not eligible for free and reduced lunches. All of these graphs just prove to us that kids that live in poverty stricken homes and are eligible for free and reduced lunches struggle in the classroom.
