Participation in the School Breakfast Program (SBP) improved academic performance and reduced absence and tardiness rates for low-income elementary students. These findings highlight the SBP

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Public Health Nutrition
  • Socioeconomic Impact Studies

Background:

  • Low-income students often face barriers to academic success.
  • School meal programs are designed to mitigate these barriers.
  • The School Breakfast Program (SBP) aims to improve student well-being and academic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of SBP participation on academic achievement.
  • To assess the association between SBP and student attendance and punctuality.
  • To determine if SBP benefits low-income elementary students.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental design comparing SBP participants with non-participants.
  • Analysis of standardized test scores (Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills) before and after SBP implementation.

    • Main Results:

    • SBP participation was positively associated with higher total scale scores on the Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills.
    • SBP participation was negatively associated with increased rates of tardiness.
    • SBP participation was negatively associated with increased rates of absence.

    Conclusions:

    • The School Breakfast Program is linked to improved academic functioning in low-income children.
    • SBP participation positively influences student attendance and reduces tardiness.
    • These findings support the role of school-based nutrition programs in enhancing educational outcomes.
