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.

Como park sr. High is a decent option if you're local, just like most SPPS, the administration and leaders are often not very involved nor are they helpful in some cases. Overall, the school would not be a good first choice.

Como Park Senior High is a really diverse school. There's lots of different people from different backgrounds at Como. The school spirit is the best part about attending Como.

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...
