Lotus Students are Growing Faster

After Spring testing of Star Reading and Math which is a computer based adaptive test, Lotus Students grew by 1.8 Grade Equivalent (GE) Level in Math and 1.5 GE in Reading Schoolwide. Average US students grow 1 GE every year.

Star test is done 5 times a year. Students progress is monitored throughout the year and instructions are tailored to students needs. Star test is adaptive which means as your child answer a question correctly, the next question comes at a slightly higher level and if s/he answers wrongly the next question comes at a slightly lower level. So the test finds the level of the student and give us a great picture of where your child is.

Here is the top growing grades in Math and Reading

Secondary Math	Growth in GE	Elementary Math	Growth in GE
9th Grade	5 GE	5th Grade	2.1 GE
11th Grade	4.4 GE	4th Grade	1.8 GE
12th Grade	4 GE	2nd Grade	1.4 GE


Secondary Reading	Growth in GE	Elementary Reading	Growth in GE
8th Grade	1.7 GE	5th Grade	1.7 GE
7th Grade	1.6 GE	4th Grade	1.3 GE
6th, 9th, 11th, 12th Grades	1.5 GE

Congratulations to all students and teachers for their hard work to accomplish this great success.

Lotus went Green

Lotus launched its Solar PV, Thermal and Energy Efficient System with a Ribbon Cutting ceremony on Monday May 21, 2012 at 1:45 pm. Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan addressed the students and guest at the opening. The project has been funded by the Federal Government, Xcel Energy and City of Aurora. Key people in the projects have been recognized by the School Principal Dr Doyuran, Board Member Dennis Duffy and Mayor Hogan. Mayor Steve Hogan, State Representative Nancy Todd and Lotus Principal Dr. Doyuran cut the ribbon and turn the switches of inverters that converts DC to AC. In addition to installation of solar panels, Lotus changed its lights and boilers to energy efficient ones. All Light switches has been changed to motion sensors in the building to eliminate power loss. Lotus is expected to save about 50% energy with this project and save about 30-40K in a year.
