I personally felt that this school did a good job at creating events. However, execution of these events were chaotic. Teachers generalized all kids and didnt see them as individuals. Minority race is white, which I do not mind or care, because people are people. However, my child being white they made it seem like everything he did was racist or the next school shooter. I do not teach racism or allow it with my children. Elementary was fine, however classes had to be taken outside in trailers with transfers in a multitude of environmental conditions. While, ESL students classes dominated the hallways of the school.

Its a good school, no fights, more time to go to their locker to get their stuff and they have a vaping detector in the bathrooms. Although the other schools my child has went to this school does not provide field trips so thats really the only problem. Other than that the school is Awesome!

This school was completely unprofessional during the hiring process

Posted: September 16, 2023

Please don't put your children in this school. School leaders are ego-obsessed career climbers who see children as data points and have no interest in the actual well-being and education of their students. I predict that this school will see multiple lawsuits in the coming years for violating the rights of students and staff.

I have seen some kids go years without receiving help for their learning difficulties. I am concerned with the education they get here. Teachers come and go as do administrators...

Posted: October 25, 2022

Over all so far has been a really good school. My kids kindergarten teacher seems nice and it looks like she knows what shes doing. Hes 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 resting face all the time. Specially an older lady, not old but does look older then other other young lady. I dont know what is it. But she gives a short answer with an attitude when asked something or says I dont know.
It seems she has been working there for a while, but she doesnt have the costumer skills or qualities someone should have when it comes to working at a job like that. Another thing I didnt like was the Afterschool program, at the end all types of students and ages would be together and my son got hit couples times, or came home with a bump or something, although that seems to changed since they changed the program and they his week they told me they were gonna be spectated into two groups, so at least that has changed.
Other than the lady at the front with an attitude, I have nothing bad to say. Ive heard alot of great things and it looks like they are right

Terrible. I have so much to say and I won't shut up at this point. So as you known 2020 aka 2021 was a hard year. People had internet issues or computer ones too, But this school had to give out TONS! of homework and not 2 or 3. NAH like 6 and imagine skipping a day... probably because going to the dentist or doing something important the homework and overdue is so stressful can this school not see Kids can have many more problems for example I was on 6th grade this year my parents were always mad at me for my grades the teachers even threaten me I wouldn't pass like no they actually did I cried so much I even self harmed there also so sensitive this year they compared everything with real life school like no joke were not on real life school there is a gap of difference I had to stay all night doing homework crying because not everyone learns fast maybe like other kids the teachers are so rude and disrespectful especially Mrs. Savas she was our Computer science teacher she literally didn't screen record her class and she would yell and scream at kids i once almost cried because of her and also the teachers would get you in trouble for anything there was this girl like on 7th grade she got suspended for a week for taking a picture or recording of her class... I didn't even learn nothing this year it has nothing to do with the pandemic it has to do with the teaching I've had enough. Rude people (expect for the secondary principal he is very nice) but this school is horrible even my other friend who has been here 3 years is moving. Well that's it. Oh one of a teachers once also said "You don't have to be kind or respectful to achieve what you want" .

I visited lotus several times for robotics club.These guys are really amazing and triying to do their best. This is a very diverse school.Principle is really open minded and he supports clubs.Parents are really satisfied regarding school's success.I really recommend you to send your kids to Lotus school for excellence.

everything until now is going pretty well

Posted: December 4, 2017

I'm proud being part of this school, awesome admin and staff .

Posted: November 30, 2017

Teachers are doing great job,athletic coach is cool,counselor is amazing person.My cousins are going there and they are so happy.

Posted: November 29, 2017

Great school a lot of opportunities and awesome staff.

Posted: November 29, 2017

Posted: November 9, 2017

There is no leadership here at this school.

Posted: November 9, 2017

They treat us like elementary students basically. Some teachers don't care about us and when we tell administration, we get ignored and some students fail the class.

Posted: November 9, 2017

They give us too much homework and make us do extracurricular activities to graduate and it stresses everyone out.

Posted: November 3, 2015

Because its actually true.And because its rating and test scores have really improved in academic structure.

Posted: November 3, 2015

This is just a very great school. Except the lunch is bad, but still it's awesome.

Posted: September 16, 2015

They are a newer charter with a wide ethnic and income group. The teachers go above and beyond to work with what materials they have, and the entire structure is set up to focus on your child's needs. Tutoring is available and a wide array of after school clubs. It might not be Cherry Creek or Kent Denver, but they strive to be even better than them. This school has a lot of potential.

Posted: July 15, 2015

I submitted my volunteer hours which were over 130 hours and now have asked for the documents back, over the course of 4 years and every time have been told they'll look for them. Not organization is a failure that is contagious to everyone.

Posted: July 15, 2015

Over the years that I've attended this "math, science and technology" school, I'll tell you that the class I learned the least in was math, when it comes to science we didn't even have labs and I went to college not knowing what certain tools were in the lab, as for the technology it's old, basic stuff like teaching your students how to edit a photo, which I feel isn't necessary unless you're student plans to go into that field. We weren't taught how to make a resume, we weren't taught how to write college letters which brings the fact that the college counselor was terrible.

Posted: July 15, 2015

Dishonest teachers lead to dishonest students, people may argue that its all about your character but that character needs to see certain qualities to develop.

Posted: July 15, 2015

As a former student whom graduated from this school, I personally would never send my child to this school. The teachers have yelled, "why don't you understand!?" At us in classes. Certain students are also valued higher and more is done for them compared to the rest of the students.

When it comes to the principle, there was a change of one, the old principle moved in these few years and the new principle which I've witnessed actively getting involved with students, but when I had a problem with my younger brother and the way he was being treated along with BULLIED by the certain teachers, and brought this to his attention, he told me that he would give me a call back once he spoke with the teachers. I waited for him to get back to me and he didn't, considering that my younger brother was in his last year of high school I dropped it and he did as well, along with my parents.

This school lives up to the 'Excellence' in its name. It has a great sports program, great school spirit, and has very helping teachers. The only bad thing is the lockers for high school are a bit small.

Posted: April 2, 2015

Please go and find another school. I am extremely disappointed and extremely unsatisfied with other how my family member and the parents were handled. The word "Excellence" and "Unprofessional" are opposing words and opposing actions. We as being a good and well-educated family were always taught: Positive is better than Negative.

A teacher This school is growing. Especially this year, students have challenging curriculum. In order to pass the classes, students should study a lot. Also, students get at least 70% to pass the class. Besides this, our robotic team went world championship. In tis school, there are engineering classes and all middle and high school students do homework online for math classes. This is the best school in Aurora.

I have worked at Lotus for three years and have enjoyed working with the staff, admin, students, and parents. We have gone through many different transitions since I first started back in 2011 but I truly feel we are finally on the right track to become a great school. I thoroughly enjoy working with the staff and adore my students. We are a growing school and definitely would like to obtain more computers and resources but we have done well with what we have.

Posted: April 9, 2014

The Lotus framework and teachers are great at meeting kids at whatever stage they are in and educating them at their level. I love that my daughter can be in a class with kids her age and still have curriculum above her grade level that challenges her.

Posted: April 9, 2014

This is the worst school I have ever been to the teachers treated me like an outcast and I was always in the deans office because when I was talking it was just me and nobody else and I was also pretty much kicked out of this school, I think you should either get better with kids with a slower learning ability or get shut down. I don't think parents should bring their kids here. I was a student at lotus and it's a nightmare.

Posted: April 9, 2014

I love working at Lotus! The staff and students are some of the best people I know. We could use more computers for elementary use and more room as we have grown in my three years of teaching here. We are a very diverse population and learn so much from all the world cultures represented at our school. Come check us out!

As a junior in high school at Lotus, I have seen enough to be able to post a review. I absolutely LOVE Lotus. Yes, it is not perfect, but nothing ever is. However, Lotus is constantly trying to improve. Constantly. The academic courses here are definitely challenging. If you want to challenge yourself, Lotus gives you every opportunity to do so. I am taking AP classes this year along with extracurricular activities, and I have never been more busy, and feeling more challenged, accomplished, and satisfied, before in my life. Believe me, the classes are taught by professionals. Lotus allows me to always be learning, always be developing my skills. It's so hard to even put into words how much I have learned from Lotus. Lotus calls itself a college preparatory school and that is so true. The college counselor, and the teachers, want every student to get into a great college and they try their very best and do what they can. I am taking ACT Prep classes that would cost so much if I were take to them somewhere else. And they are so helpful, allowing me to score in the 30s. There is much more and I wish I could write more, but lastly, I truly enjoy attending, and learning, at Lotus. :)

My previous review was posted too quickly. LSE is not a good school for many reasons. Homework is not graded based on content - kids are given a grade simply because they turn work in. LSE's Pre-calc class is not really pre-calc - there is a lot of basic algebra. The online course contains only 8 total lessons and all the kid had to do to get an A is to pass those 8 courses (limited to no study). And all a kid has to do to graduate with honors is to take 2 AP classes and pass - though that is not a great indication of success, since the AP teachers don't seem to understand how to teach an AP course. Our student completed one paper all year - constantly allowed to add to it until the end of the year. Our biggest concern is English class. There are few real English speaking teachers - if ANY this year. They pass all papers that are turned in on time - but they don't correct the work. We counted a paper that received a 19/20 and it has 36 grammatical errors, was a comparison between a book and a movie, and the main characters names were not spelled correctly - at all. Any student reading a Cliff Note could pass that class and that is sad. Don't send your kid to LSE.

LOTUS SCHOOL FOR EXCELLENCE is a excellent school for kids. Teachers are great and work hard for you and help you when ever you need it.

Posted: October 6, 2013

This school is not good many teachers just get mad because u ask them a question. Plus many teachers don't explain good.

Posted: August 30, 2013

Ive been here at lotus since 5th grade and after three years this new school year is the first time i have actually started liking lotus they have gotten new electives, new after school programs, and new cool teachers!

Posted: August 29, 2013

I am a student and I have been in lotus since sixth grade and i learned at lot but there were still trouble..... Entering in this new year i am now a 9th grader and lotus has finally gotten themselves together and we have tons of electives and after school programs. The new teachers here are great(esspically the language teacher he is really wise) and they fixed the inside of lotus and it is nicer. I have a good feeling about this year. :D

Posted: August 29, 2013

This school is the best school ever. I'm a student. This is my first year and the school is very good. I'm really looking for summer school because I'm really behind my other school didn't teach me so well.

Posted: August 21, 2013

Lotus School of Excellence is a school of caring professional hard working Teacher 's. The Dean of Elementary will make sure that each child has Self monitoring Strategies to develop independent students! The Principal is new this year we have had a complete face lift to the school! The Elementary Gym has a new floor. The school has been painted the hall ways all new flooring! The Science department 2 new labs. I have worked in public school, private school and find that our school as a community of hard working people from very culture! What a great school and nice school to work a d be a part of!

Posted: August 11, 2013

I'm a high school student who's been here since I was in 7th grade. Before you say anything, no I'm not one of the teachers pretending to be a student. This school for the past few years has been really bad, that is very clear. However, when I came home from school today I was extremely surprised at all the things they've changed this year. The school is planned to have over 200 online courses, along with many elective choices. They're changing the school to a K-16 school now, which pretty much means that even after leaving they will offer support, such as jobs and assistance in the subject you pursue. I suggest at this point that it's worth it to go here now, despite the bad reputation it's had in the past (which I agree with). Thank you for taking the time to read this. Four stars because of it only recently being improved, and still having quite a way to go.

Posted: August 9, 2013

This school is amazing. The teachers work hard for you and help you when ever you need it. I had multiple ap courses this past year and I passed them. I would go to the teacher almost everyday after school to get help and they were always OK with me just dropping in for help. I did robotics and through hard work we won the state championship... But this year so many things have changed and for the better. Many new AP courses and after school clubs. Along with electives and I'm really loving it. In all honesty I feel right at home when I'm at lotus because that's just how the teachers make you feel. Some things remain to be fixed but what school doesn't have problems... I just love this school.

Posted: July 20, 2013

Lotus School is a great school. Every year more and more rigorous classes and intriguing extracurricular activities are added to the school. This gives your child many options to choose from and challenge themselves. My daughters AP teachers did a great job in teaching her about the subject and how to study for the test as well because she passed both of her AP tests. (So a huge shout out for them!) I've randomly checked up on the school several times during the day to make sure if it was as great as it seemed during Lotus' open house and it was. My daughter is very happy with how the school fits her needs and as long as she's happy I am too. Thank you Lotus.

Posted: June 21, 2013

This is an amazing school that i would highly recommend every students. The teachers in school are dedicated and care about students education. There are many after school programs/clubs for preparing your students for college. Highly recommended!

Posted: June 9, 2013

don't go to this school some teacher's don't do there jobs. others do outstanding jobs. the math department doesn't grade homework they just look at it. they need to actually grade homework. and they should stop being last minute because when we are upon an event that is when they tell you about it. it is very unorganized. they need to pull it together. some teachers just let the class go wild. other teachers are just mean to the kids. this isn't a good school.

Posted: May 20, 2013

this school is really hard to deal with at times. two years ago i was ok with the school but ive noticed how that school really is. as a girl it is hard to deal with more than how guys have to deal with it. most of the kids at the school are imature and racist. they are also very sexist. when it comes to bullying they say they will "stop" it. aha no -_-. i had a muslim friend and she was being bullied by two other girls. no one stepped up to stop it so i had to. but then my friend was sent to the "dean" and he said he didnt need the drama in his life and didnt do anything about it. for me the education is good because i am behind but i have trouble with the math classes. the teacher doesnt explain things very well and skips chapters and things were suppose to know so on the test there are some things we wont know. the school is getting more ghetto each year.

Posted: January 15, 2013

I find it interesting that this school is typically rated a 5 star with the phrase, "I assure you your child will love this school" on multiple posts while the 1 stars are sincere concerns and varied troublesome remarks. It seems someone has just gone through and made more 5 star posts to increase scores. I hope anyone who reads all of these, sees this huge discrepancy as a warning to consider when choosing a school. I would not recommend this school to anyone.

Posted: January 8, 2013

THIS SCHOOL SHOULDN'T EVEN GET ONE STAR. IF THE STUDENTS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TURKISH TEACHERS THEY COME OFF AS RACIEST! we have only been going for a year let me tell you it was the frist and last year. the schools lunches are also very unhealthy. it seems like they don't really know what they are doing over there

Posted: January 5, 2013

Love this school.....Teachers are very good, and generous. They have after school, and weekend club for help the students. My son is very happy in this school. I would recommend this school to anyone.

Posted: January 1, 2013

My kids attended this school for more than one year. It was a HUGE disappointment. There were a large number of Turkish "teachers" that had no business being in the classroom. They had no teaching ability whatsoever. As another parent said, the website is the best thing about this school. My kids were on the junior high - high school side of the school. Granted, my kids had one or two teachers who were decent, the rest were just there for a paycheck and could care less if the kids learned what they needed. And, I heard that the few decent teachers left. How sad that this is what our kids are expected to settle for. This school is a farce and I sincerely wonder who posted the positive reviews of Lotus. Another thing, they promote and steer the graduating seniors towards the armed forces. Is that all they think the Aurora students are capable of? I read in the one of the Lotus school newsletters that they were giving "points" to students to attend some sort of armed forces recruitment session. Also, if you report concerns about the staff, the administration allows their employees to retaliate in ignorant, discriminatory ways. That was my experience with this pathetic "school."

Posted: October 18, 2012

If you want your child to have as good education. I do not recommend this school. I have a Junior that was suppose to be a Rock star at Math and then when it counted on her CSAPS or a harder Math class she couldn't do any of it because there Math department didn't really grade anything. Then on the elementary side if you have any problems it will be do to a mental illness or at least that is what the elementary Dean likes to say to a parent because she doesn't want to deal with the parents. Also when your child lies its expectable and they think it's cute and OK to do. Not wanting to take care of the issues at hand they let bad behavior go and don't do much about it. Then their acedemics in the elementary side they are so busy moving the kids around to play they don't have much time for learning. Suppose to be a Science and Technology school yet last year they were so busy doing other things they only had time for Social Studies or Science not both at the same time because I guess these two subjects aren't that important that we can skip one or the other. I would not recomend this school and have taken my kids out so they get a real education.

Posted: October 18, 2012

I am a 9th grade student at Lotus School for Excellence, I first attended Lotus in 8th grade and I can say that this school is truly a great school. Our math teachers are willing to give you one on one help and by the time you leave the classroom you understand the lesson very well (I had a 6th grade math level but now due to the assistants of my math teachers I am at the 8th grade level now). The language arts teachers give tricky homework sometimes but your writing skills and vocabulary are improved drastically (my writing skills and vocabulary are nearly past college level, and my reading level is 12.9). All of the social studies teachers are very knowledgeable in what they teach, so understanding the lessons is not to hard (social studies is one of my favorite subjects, and I currently have a B+ in my crime and law class).

Posted: October 18, 2012

My daughter attended the middle school at Lotus and now she is in high school. I am very pleased with the school overall. She is becoming a strong thinker and is doing increasingly well in all classes. I love the uniform dress standard as well as the school discipline standard. I also deeply appreciate the responsiveness of the teachers. It takes committed and involved parents working along with the school to really grow a school. The Lotus PTO has strong teacher/administration involvement. Although parent involvement in the PTO is good and must improve, the PTO at Lotus is truly wonderful! Together we are making a difference!

Posted: October 17, 2012

I believe Lotus has helped me tremendously in many ways. The individual attention given at this school has helped me strive to become the student i want to be. It has instilled a set of morals that i believe will help me advance to sustain a well rounded mind in my later years. Overall....Lotus Rocks !!

Posted: October 17, 2012

This is a very good school, i really recomend it. There are small classes so it will be easier to understand

Posted: October 17, 2012

I am currently at lotus the teachers are geat and give the students great attention when it comes to thier academics and helping with school work. courses that are offered are very challangeing and the carriculum is great expecting students to have a c at the most in order to pass it a great school.

Posted: October 17, 2012

Some teachers have malos teaching strategies. School tiiene a/c and heater. Tambien, There are poquitas computers que work. I tuve que arreglar una computer, y soy brilliant.

Lotus school for excellence is a very good school i've been here since sixth grade when opened and now im a senoir. In this school they have really prepared me for college and they have also tought be so many good things such as respect, and many parents don't like this school and say it's bad when actually their kids are the bad ones.

Posted: October 17, 2012

Lotus School For Excellence does help you and give advice about colllege and also have field trip to go to college.

Posted: October 17, 2012

I am a Senior going to this school and i have been coming here since this school opened in 2006-2007. Ive watched this school grow and go through it's ups and downs. I would only recommend this school if you or you're child are determined to put with it's rules and regulations. If you don't want to put up with the rules just stay at you're school. It has helped me with some problems but also caused some.

Posted: October 17, 2012

This school is actually a great school for many reasons. The teachers here will sit down with the student or students and actually help them succeed when they need the additional help. There are many clubs to choose from, many which are competitive (for the college resume). Students will meet other students who are from other cultures and religions with no major group of a certain ethnicity. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a place to send their student to.

Posted: September 6, 2012

This school not only offers a quality education, but extra curricular activities that take the learning even further. The teachers and staff are motivated and fully engaged, to the advantage of the students. We absolutely love this school and the difference it has made in our child's education!

Posted: August 12, 2012

I am a student in the 8th grade and I started last year for 7th. I absolutely love this school! The teachers are great, they have really helped me with turning in my school work on-time! I especially love the science teachers!!!!! The only complaint that I have is the hallways are a bit to small, but other than that I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted: July 3, 2012

THIS SCHOOL IS A JOKE. THE SCHOOL WEBSITE BOASTS ITS EMPHASIS ON MATH SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, BUT REALITY IS ITS NOTHING BETTER OUTSIDE OF OTHER SCHOOLS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SCHOOL OUTSIDE OF PUBLIC, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL. IT HAS A POOR ACADEMIC REPORT & MANY OF THE ADMINISTRATORS & TEACHERS ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH NOT ONLY THE STUDENTS BUT THE HIGH LEVEL OF ACADEMICS REQUIRED NOWADAYS. THE SCHOOL IS VERY UNINVITING & HAS A QUICK TURNOVER BC THE GOOD TEACHERS LEAVE AFTER A YEAR ONCE THEY REALIZE HOW SCREWED UP THE SCHOOL & SYSTEM IS ALONG WITH NO REAL SUPPORT OR THE TRUE HEART OF EDUCATION - ALL ABOUT CHILDREN! IT SEEMS THE PRINCIPALS & DEANS ARE ALL ABOUT THE DATA & $$ WHICH IS A JOKE BC THE SCORES R LOW OVERALL BASED ON THE CO STANDARDS DO NOT FALL FOR THE SHOW THIS SCHOOL PUTS ON FOR YOU IN ORDER TO COME TO THEIR SCHOOL. THERE IS LITTLE SUPPORT FOR PARENTS & IT SEEMS LIKE AS SOON AS THERE IS A PROBLEM YOU ARE EITHER IGNORED OR REFFERED TO MENTAL HEALTH. MY CHILD CONSTANTLY CAME HOME UPSET THAT HER MATH TEACHER WOULD NOT HELP HER EVEN WE SHE ASKED. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THINGS, I AWLAYS GOT A BS ANSWER THAT NEVER HELPED ANY SITUATION. BE AWARE OF THIS WEAK LEVEL SCHOOL!

Posted: May 26, 2012

The Lotus School for Excellence has NO excellence. It is not good at all. Poor staff, poor results, poor management, poor structure, poor administration, POOR COMMUNICATION! I definately do NOT recommend this school. It seems great on the website, but once you see whats really going on, it is a disgrace. NOT a good education by any means. You would be better off putting your child in public schools.

Posted: May 18, 2012

this is a medicore school with medicore staff. do NOT send your kids here! the principal and staff are the ones putting the good comments on this site to make their school look better. they do NOT have anything special or more worthy than any of the other schools in the area. the technology piece - they have nothing special & do not get technology education more than the public schools around here. the special education dept does NOTHING! the sped lady doesn't even come into the classroom! & small class sizes...yeah right unless 25 is small to you! the principal has no conncetion to the kids, and the elem dean has no love for the kids...she can't even say my child's name right! there have been several parents pulling their kids because this school simply has no clue how to run a GREAT school. they put on a great show for you, but after that, it's nothing special at all. they have staff members who are not licensed and have no clue what they are doing. i have walked in for several "surprise" visits & it is so crazy in there. & the principal & deans arn't in the classrooms or interacting with the children except when they immediately suspend them instead of working with them!

Posted: May 18, 2012

THIS SCHOOL HAS BEEN A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR MY CHILDREN. this is a Turkish school. go on the 60 minutes website and look up turkish schools and it will explain what these schools are like and what they are doing. the staff will tell you they are not a "turkish" school but they are...all but a couple of the administrators are turkish. most of the middle/high school teachers are turkish. the kids have to take half year of turksih language even in elementary! and the people here treat many people unfairly! they put their own people and culture ahead of everyone else!

Posted: May 16, 2012

DON'T PUT YOUR CHILD IN. IT'S HARDER TO GWT THEM TO DEAL WITH BULLYING THAN TO HAVE THEM THREATEN TO NOT ALLOW YOUR KID BACK IF YOU DON'T PAY FOR THEM TO GO TO SUMMER SCHOOL. They allow one child to bulky many and disrupt the many students by forcing them into other classes instead of dealing with the one kid doing the bullying. However they bully the parents into forcing money to pay for their "programs" or their books. They offer assistance to the ones they want but will not even return calls for those kids they don't want to deal with. Pay them or your child's on the list to find a way to remove. Only focus is on tests score not the focus they "run their school mission on". Too bad.

Posted: May 14, 2012

this school is not academically challenging at all. My children have attended this school for two years and I am pulling them out. Last year was ok, but this year it has been worse. The emphasis on math, science, and technology, is NO higher or does NOT stand out more than any other charter school or higher performing public schools in the area. If this school is so great, then why arn't the test scores higher? If this school is an "excellent" school, then why is the school rated so low and given an "F" on the CO grader of schools webiste? If this school is one of the best in the area, then why don't we hear about its accomplishments, its teachers, its staff, its clubs or sports on the news or in education news? If this school is doing so well, then it would have higher test scores, a much higher grade from the state, teachers of the year, and an overall better review from the department of education. Think twice & thoroughly research this school before taking your children here. It is not an "innovative" school or a high-performing charter school that is raising the bar. It is just another lacking school in the bottom of the pool that uses "charter" to make it sound better.

this school says a lot and shows a lot, but in reality it is not a very good school at all. the administration is not fair with all the kids & doesnt treat all the kids equally.The principal has very little invovlement with the elementary kids. Many of the teachers are unhappy and are treated poorly by adminstration with very little lack of appreciaition (ive been told by 4 teachers). The tests the kids take to measure the growth is not even colorado certified. over the last two years the good teachers have left the school becasue the admin does not recognize or appreciate or treat them fairly and the school is left with inexpeirenced and lazy teachers. this is why i am taking my children out of the school. i do not want teachers who arn't licensed or have very little experience in the field teaching my child. the school does not have a full sized gym, & the building has not been updated with things falling apart. this school does not have small class size either. 24-26 students is not small class size crammed in little rooms. the school and admin puts on a good show, but in reality they are not a true school with all staff truly focused on the children & academics.

lotus school for excellence is a great school it give you a chance to b great in the future This school is unlike a regular school a public school doesn't work with you so you can pass your class they tell you if you want to pass do it yourself but lotus teachers work with you to pass your classes. lotus school for excellence is a great school to send your child to grow and learn to be a better adult in the future.

Lotus School for Excellence is on the top of my list! My grandsons have attended this school, one since 6th grade (9th grade now). The educational structure of LSE is why my grandsons are intellectually seeking more knowledge from their teachers daily. They challenges to learn more about the world have made them both exceptional academic students. The faculty and staff of LSE care about the students, the parents, and enabling their student body to become future leaders of the community and America! I thank them daily for their commitment and dedication. Barb Whitfield

Lotus is an ever emerging school K-12 school. Certainly appreciate the emphasis in Math and Science. Since all of the students wear uniform shirts/blouses there is little to no peer pressure regarding dress. There is little to non-existent dicipline problems. Recommend this school for you child.

I am a student attending LSE, I've been at this school since it first opened back in 2005, I started in 6th grade and now I am in 11th, the school is actually really amazing, its multicultural and everyone is like family because of the small classroom sizes. The teachers are completely involved with students and even make time to help them afterschool, which is appriciated by many. Also because we have small classroom sizes (most being 24) each student gets individual help from teachers when it is needed. From the first year this school opened and til' now a lot of improvments have happened. We're getting sports teams, MESA, and have camps that students can go too, yearly talent shows that are a blast, bulling is absolutly not tolerated and every student feels welcomed. My whole class loves going to this school, we believe that it will be really good for our future. Thank you to all the teachers and staff at LSE, you're all appriciated. :)

Lotus is a terrible school with mediocre staff and lousy teachers. There is rarely enough food for all the students at lunch and the administration abuses their power to punish students that they don't like. They even kept a teacher around that was accused multiple times of inappropriate behavior around students. They may say that they rise above other schools but that is just an illusion, they spend more money on advertising and bringing in new students then they do actually improving the school. You don't know what's happening to your kid there, so it would be a good idea to steer clear

Great educational opportunity awaits you! Math has a strong emphasis here, so go for it!

I was a student at Lotus in 2006-07. I am now a sophomore in high school, I went to LSE of 6 months, and I loathed it. Nothing that i learned there I remembered, I had 4 hours of homework every night, (IN SIXTH GRADE!!! In high school i have barely and hour of homework a night if any) They do NOT have two gyms, Or a great kitchen, And the "cafeteria" is a Stage. If you value your child's happiness as well as their education, do not send them here.
