Healthy Choices That Can Save Our Schools

Reduce Discipline Problems
Administrators feel that school breakfast plays an important role in their 40%-50% decline in discipline referrals. (1998, Baltimore School Breakfast Study)

Get Started On Time
Children getting school breakfast had significantly reduced absence and tardiness rates. (1987, Meyers, Sampson, et al)

Raise Test Scores
In comparing test scores of third graders before the universal school breakfast program with their scores as sixth graders after experiencing the program for three years, there is a general increase in composite math and reading percentile scores. (1998, Baltimore School Breakfast Study)

Increase Teaching Time
Classes at the pilot sites lose less educational time due to discipline problems. School breakfast increases attention span and reduces class disruption.(1998, Baltimore School Breakfast Study)

Improve School Environment
Data from this study provide strong evidence that higher rates of participation in school breakfast programs are associated in the short-term with improved student functioning on a broad range of psycho social and academic measures.

Raise the Standards
Children who participated in the School Breakfast Program were shown to have significantly higher standardized achievement test scores than eligible nonparticipants. (1987, Meyers, Sampson, et al)

Keep Them In School
Children who increased their rate of school breakfast participation decreased their rate of school absence.
