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 overall experience with Como Park Senior High is hands down better than any of the other High school I've been to. The Staff at Como really care about the students and actually pay attention to us. We have a few questionable teachers but we have way more good teachers than bad ones. Como is a high school full of teenagers so yes we have fights every now and then but it's never made me question my safety. Como also takes resolving our issues very seriously, I'm a part of a restorative circle practice that we have to fix conflict in our school.

Como has been thought of as a hidden treasure in the district. In some ways it is a very plain school, but it has something very special about it. Possibly owing to it's relatively small size, Como has a well developed sense of community. There is something for everyone, and if what you want is not...

An excellent school with outstanding teachers, strong academics, and hard working students. There are more AP classes (18) at this school than most of the private or public schools in the area. Other honors courses (called accelerated or pre-AP) are also of excellent quality and open to all students...
