As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Middle school teachers are not qualified by any means, most of them were hired when the school couldn't find qualified applicants. That is probably the situation in many other schools these days, but in Lotus, every middle school teacher has less than one year of experience as a teacher and 25 years or younger. The only exception is the Middle school Dean. Good luck kids. Close Quote

This is the best school in Aurora. The school is getting better and improving itself. I believe that Lotus is going to be the best school in Colorado soon. Close Quote

This is old data
School impressively increased its scores. Its achievement data is about 10% above the district in all areas and its growth is at 60-80 % where CO average is 50%. Lotus is one of the best schools in Aurora. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
