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.

My experience at Lotus School for Excellence was great. There is amazing diversity, and the community itself, along with the staff and teachers, is very welcoming and nice. It is slowly improving year by year, and there are more subject offerings each year. There are also a variety of sports available, along with many clubs.

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.
