GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The teachers are very sweet and actually do their job. I have been there since my freshman year I am now a senior and I have enjoyed everything. Hardly any drama or flights. The teachers, counselor, dean, and principal a more than willing to help from personal problems to academic problems. The school is k-12 so everyone know everyone leading to everyone being friends with everyone including teachers.

As a student that attends Lotus School for Excellence, I can say that it's not a school with many students although it is pretty diverse. The students get along well and the teachers are very helpful. There are many positives to this school but a negative would be that you will not get the high school experience you signed up for.

Over all so far has been a really good school. My kids kindergarten teacher seems nice and it looks like she knows what she’s doing. He’s has been learning so much. The only thing I dislike is the front desk or administrative ladies at the front. They are rude, never greet you and they have a restin...
