My school actually has decent food most of the time and has improved this year, but they've also started charging more for it. Kids on the free lunch program (including a couple of my friends) only qualify for a set "lunch" (main items can only be part of a lunch if they're $3.00), and most main food items no longer count as a lunch. They also charge you more for not getting a side of vegetables, water is an extra dollar, and the only soda is diet. They used to have weird wheat tortillas but they've gone back to flour thank goodness. There's also a deli line (good), pizza (terrible, basically cardboard), terriyaki bar (never had it), and burrito bar (good, but they run out of stuff fast).
My biggest complaint is the fact that I'm a bit suspicious of the meat. I know for a fact that the "ham" is like half turkey, the beef doesn't taste right, and the lunch ladies have admitted that they don't know what kind of meat is in some things, just that it's "meat".
This being said, once again, my school does have pretty good lunches
Your profile says you're 17. Why don't you just pack your lunch the night before or go pick up something instead? Pretty sure high schools let all non-freshman out of school for lunch.
At my school you have to get approved for an off-campus pass, which you can only get if you have good enough grades, and you have to apply either at the very beginning of the year or at the start of the second semester
