I looked at Sidwell's menu. I don't see many things that would appeal to the typical American child
Then all the kids I know are atypical.

I don't get the deal with school lunch programs now.
I went to school in a small north midwestern town. School lunches to me were awesome. However, you could never admit that or it was terribly uncool. Instead we made the afternoon treck to Snack Shak to have a daily large fried roll and cherry coke. Snow was a blessing. It meant we were forced to stay at school and eat the lunches.
The school served home made bread, deserts, cookies, canned corn and veggies, various hamburger and chicken dishes and of course sloppy joe's. In high school we were under extreme peer pressure to be thin. This was a hard working farm town. Weight was hardly an issue at our school or the surrounding small towns. If you had any body part that looked larger than a twig, the high school kids would jeer and taunt the person mercilessly until the issue was resolved. It was too socially miserable to be anything but normal or below normal weight. Football and basketball were sports for those good at it. Track was the sport for everyone. Everyone did track (kept us all thin). But we did eat junk.
Did I mind the peer pressure? No. I thought it was normal. I just gave into it like everyone else and did not dare gain weight.

My schools lunches were yucky, but back then I didnt eat lunch anyway (except when they had cardboard pizza, corn, a small salad and those yummy chocolate no bake oatmeal cookies). The cool kids were out back smoking in the designated smoking area that was next to to the area where we traded pocket knives, next to the parking lot where riffles and shotguns were in full view on gun racks in the back window of trucks during hunting season.
Weight wasn't an issue either because we were active. Id dare say our meals at home were more nutritious than the school lunch.
