CPS Lunch Guidelines

These family income levels match the Ohio Federal and Cincinnati School Lunch Program Guidelines. Please consult the charts below to determine if your family qualifies for one of the two lower price levels. Just tell us on your yearly application if you qualify!

Income refers to parents’ income, not grandparents.

If the student splits their time between two households, use the income from the household they spend the most time in. If they spend equal time at both, use either one.
