This page contains the complete data files from the annual FRPM data collection as well as data prior to 2004 for the CalWORKS (formerly known as AFDC) data collection. FRPM information is submitted by schools to the Department in January; however, the data is current as of October (previous year). Data files include public school enrollment, number of CalWORKS children residing in the attendance area, number of students eligible for free or reduced price meal programs, percent CalWORKS children, and percent free and reduced price meal eligible children in the program.
Note: 1) The data reported here is a result of the collection of data designed for use in the Title I program and as a result is limited to children ages 5 to 17 inclusive as of October of the year for which the data is being collected; 2) the Free and Reduced Price Meals/CalWORKS School File is composed of draft data which may have been revised and not updated here. Although data revisions are minimal there may be discrepancies between DataQuest Socio-economic data and the Free and Reduced Price Meals/CalWORKS School File. The DataQuest data are the most current.
