Free and Reduced Lunch
Baxter Academy does not participate in the federal lunch program. The school’s model breaks students out into the community for learning and for open-campus lunch. This model promotes independence in students while allowing the school to target its limited space for STEM learning labs. The school building itself does not have any kitchen facilities.
The school does cover the cost of meals for students with needs. This expense is borne by the school itself and is not reimbursed by the federal government. Students who qualify for free lunches will not be charged for lunch orders made through the school or snacks purchased from the Front Office. Students with reduced lunch will pay half price.
