Abstract
This casual comparative design study examined the impact of the type of lunch schedule, traditional or alternative, had on EOC scores for English II and Math I in North Carolina schools. A convenience sample of 132 schools from an archival data set obtained from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. Using a casual comparative design, two independent samples t tests were conducted to examine the difference in English II and Math I EOC scores between two groups. The data analysis resulted in a failure to reject Null Hypothesis One and failure to reject Null Hypothesis Two. Recommendations for future research include expanding the research to include additional schools, conducting the study longitudinally, using a national test such as SAT or PSAT, utilizing a qualitative design.
