Do CA Kids Eat Breakfast?

Just launched on kidsdata.org: Indicators measuring student reports of whether  they ate breakfast that day, available both by grade level (7th, 9th, and 11th) and gender, and by race/ethnicity. These data come from the California Department of Education’s California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), which is administered by WestEd.

So do California students eat breakfast? Here are some  state-level highlights:

  • The majority of 7th, 9th, and 11th graders say they eat breakfast.
  • In 2006-2008, California 7th-grade students were more likely than 9th and 11th graders to say they ate breakfast that morning.
  • Among 7th and 9th graders, boys were more likely than girls to say that they ate breakfast that morning.
  • Asian American and Caucasian/White students were most likely to say they ate breakfast.
