More than 90 percent of Glendale Elementary School District students are considered to be living in poverty based on the number that qualify for the federal Free and Reduced-Price Meal Program, according to the district.

Students qualify for the program if their family income falls below federal poverty levels. For a family of four, the household income must be below $2,389 per month to qualify for free meals, and $3,400 for reduced-price meals.
