Como Lake Middle is the Grade 6–8 step into Centennial Secondary, Coquitlam’s longest-running AP school. For value-focused families, this is a strong, established pathway at an accessible price.
Como Lake takes students from Mundy Road and the other Central Coquitlam elementaries and bridges them to Centennial, with a solid middle-years program. It sits in a mature, tree-lined part of the city near its namesake lake.
Like most middle schools, families treat it as a continuity layer — the bigger decision is the Centennial secondary endpoint, which Como Lake reliably leads to.

Four things I tell every family chasing a specific catchment — learned the hard way over years of these searches.
Listing descriptions are wrong often enough to matter. Pull SD43’s catchment map for the specific house, every time.
Morning rush traffic and parking around the school is the real test of the neighbourhood, not the Sunday open house.
If one child is enrolled, siblings usually get priority — but it’s a soft rule, not a guarantee. Call the school directly.
Catchment-chasing is a multi-year hold, not a flip. Budget the home around the K–12 pathway, not this year’s grade.

Most families think in K–12 pathways, not single schools. These are the catchments and neighbourhood pages that usually pair with this one.
What secondary does Como Lake Middle feed?
Centennial Secondary — Coquitlam’s longest-running AP secondary. Como Lake is the Grade 6–8 bridge from the Central Coquitlam elementaries.
Is the Como Lake catchment good value?
Yes — established Central Coquitlam detached ($1.15M–$1.95M) feeds the strong Centennial pathway at a lower price than the Plateau or Burke Mountain, often with reno upside.
Which elementaries feed Como Lake Middle?
Mundy Road and other Central Coquitlam elementaries. Confirm the specific address with SD43, as edges vary.
Are homes here older?
Mostly — Central Coquitlam stock skews 1960s–1980s. That brings character and larger lots, but plan for older-home due diligence.
Is Como Lake a destination or a bridge school?
Like most middle schools, it’s a continuity layer before the destination — Centennial Secondary. It does that bridging role reliably.
