Missituk Elementary School is located in the South Medford section of Medford, Massachusetts. Since the student population historically has had a large (over fifty percent) portion qualifying for free and reduced lunch, the Missituk School instituted a universal free breakfast program beginning in late 2008. Initial results included better attendance, fewer trips to the nurse and better student behavior.[15]
