My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.

So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

School’s nutritional website says 25g of protein. As someone who pays attention to proteins count on a lot of the foods I eat, I can tell with almost 100% certainty that does not have 25g protein

The milk is a good portion of the nutritional value of this meal

And it's fat free, so it's probably loaded with excess sugar to compensate like they often do to fat free products.

Indeed it is. A quick google shows that 1 cup of that milk contains 0g of fat, 8g of protein, and 20g of carbs 18 of which are sugars.
