Older schools don't have kitchens because they were built when most kids went home for lunch, and newer schools don't have kitchens because lunches were being prepared off-site and just heated up in the school. That means there's a very thin time period during which schools were being built with kitchens, and most of them don't come from that time period.

There are some groups which will help pay for you to equip a kitchen to your school and improve the lunches... buuuuuut not everybody can get a sponsorship that way, obviously.
