Study: School Lunches Are Linked To Better School Test Scores
Here is some food for thought. Children who consistently eat lunch at school are more likely to score better on standardized tests, according to a study out of India, one of the biggest and longest running studies looking at the effect of school lunch on academic performance.
The quality of the school lunch matters. A recent study out of California found that when school-age children were offered more nutritious food for lunch, the students scored better on end-of-the-year tests.
