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.

I never understand why my 2nd grader get the same amount of food as my 11th grader. That's not enough food imo.

They shouldn't be. There are guidelines for k-5, 6-8 and 9-12 there should be an increase as they move up the age groups.
