Wow...good information. I know that variety of the schools in NYC are on a universal system which allows all students to qualify for free lunch and SES services. You situation sounds close to my family's when I was younger...I remember it being tough...hope things are better.

I know because I looked into it when my ex husband got laid off. I thought that at 50% of his pay, he would be eligible, b$25K a year with 1 dependent, he is not. Living on less than $25K with a kid is most definitely not middle class.
