Free/Reduced Lunch (FRL)
Free/Reduced Lunch (FRL) eligibility is the primary federal poverty proxy used in US K-12 data. Students qualify based on household income relative to federal poverty guidelines. Schools where 40% or more students are FRL-eligible may qualify for Title I school-wide programs.
With 91% of students FRL-eligible, TRIUMPH PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS-SAN BENITO serves a community with significant equity needs. Schools at this level typically receive the largest share of federal Title I funds.

Understanding These Measures
FRL (Free/Reduced Lunch)
FRL eligibility is the most-used poverty proxy in US K-12 data. Students qualify based on household income — free lunch at 130% of the federal poverty level, reduced-price at 185%. Many schools at 40%+ FRL qualify for Title I school-wide program funding.
Title I
Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act directs federal funds to schools serving high concentrations of low-income students. Funding supports supplemental instruction, professional development, and wraparound services.
Charter vs Magnet vs District
District schools are run by the local education agency. Charters are publicly funded but operate under independent contracts. Magnets are district-operated schools with a specialized theme open to students beyond their attendance zone.
