This school offers great opportunities. I feel and believe that the overall course selection is excellent and provides a wide variety of fields of study to help students succeed in life. I would definitely recommend this school.
It's the most challenging high school. I have to say that the front desk staff, Ms. Nejiba, is a great person who always smiles. The teachers are doing a great job, the athletic coach is cool, and the counselor is an amazing person. My cousins go there, and they are so happy.
It is a very welcoming STEAM school. Student body is so diverse and excepting. I encourage people to be part of the Lotus family as staff, parent and student
My brother-in-law goes to the middle school there, and he loves it. He is involved in sports, and his coaches are very friendly. His teachers are also nice and approachable, and they help him with his assignments.
Awesome school and amazing teachers! I personally appreciate everything they do to help all students learn and prepare for the future, setting them up for success in both school and life. I love the honors courses they offer and their robotics program. My daughter has learned so much from the program. She was shy before, but after starting the robotics program, she is now more confident in speaking in front of a crowd to present their projects. Go, go, go, Lotus!
Lotus School for Excellence has some of the most caring, dedicated, and well-rounded teachers in the area. I have family members who attend this school, and their experience has been very positive.
