To find out how many students brought their lunch to school, we need to calculate 20% of 800 students.

First, we convert the percentage to a decimal:
\[
20\% = \frac{20}{100} = 0.2
\]

Next, we multiply the total number of students by the decimal:
\[
800 \times 0.2 = 160
\]

Therefore, 160 students brought their lunch to school on Thursday.
