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.

the worst parts of Como is probably the amount of fights that happen and all the hall-sweeps, it really affects the students who are just trying to go to class and makes them feel unsafe. The best parts would have to be the diversity I have met people from different cultures and backgrounds and have made really good friend's with them and they have taught be about their culture.

From my bad experience in this hell of high school, i notice to see often with safety is worse that I never thought with school making stricter for bathroom is stupidity instead suspend on kids with problems. In my personal honesty opinion. Things in within of classroom fill with few ignorance people gossip my personal life. I love how much fake anti bullying in this school in my years. if people doesn't care about my opinion with fact of half truth.

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...
