Food is important for good health and the proper growth and development of the body. Individuals who use their brains like students need proper feeding in order to boost their thinking and reasoning capacities. Failure to meet their daily feeding intake could result in poor grades, being absent from school, and being inattentive in class. The aim of the study was to investigate students’ perceptions of food service quality in selected second-cycle institutions in Bolgatanga Municipality. The study employed a mixed-methods research approach. The target population of this study included all students at Bolgatanga Senior High School, Bolgatanga Technical Institute, and Zuarungu Senior High School. The study employed Yamane's 1967 formulae to determine the sample size of 150 students from the selected second-cycle institutions. A questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents. A stratified simple random sampling technique was employed to select students for the study. The data were analyzed with SPSS version 21. The research instrument for this study passed a reliability test using a modified version of Cronbach's alpha. The study revealed that students are served with weevil-infested beans, and this makes them lose appetite and resort to other options, which they think can cater for their nutrition. It is recommended that the kitchen staff make sure that meals prepared for students meet the daily nutritional demands for healthier growth.
