The percentages above are based on the 2009-2010 school year.

Free or Reduced Cost Meal (FRPM) Program: This is a federal program administered by the US Department of Agriculture.  Participation in the program is by application and is based on the income of the child’s parent or guardian.  A child’s family income must fall below 185% of the Federal Poverty Level to qualify for reduced-cost meals, or below 130% of the Federal Poverty Level to qualify for free meals.  Not all eligible children are enrolled in the program, so these numbers do not reflect all low-income school-age children.  Currently, 73% of P.S. ARTS students are enrolled in the Free or Reduced Cost Meal Program.

English Language Learner (ELL) Students: English Language Learner students are classified based on assessment procedures that determine they lack the clearly defined English language skills of listening comprehension, speaking, reading and writing necessary to succeed in the school’s regular instructional programs.  Currently, 45% of P.S. ARTS students are English Language Learners.
