      abstract = {This research examined the relationship between food  insecurity, the National School Lunch Program, and academic  achievement in Georgia public schools. A multilevel Poisson  regression model was used to examine these relationships.  Findings confirm a strong inverse relationship between  poverty, as exhibited by participation in the National  School Lunch Program, and academic achievement. The  strength of the relationship was stronger for fifth grade  students than for eighth grade students. Human capital, as  measured by percent of population with college degrees, had  a positive relationship with academic achievement  measures.},
