The pathway

Where students go next.

Students here promote to centennial Secondary.

The elementary catchment and the middle catchment are drawn separately. A house can sit comfortably inside one and fall on the far side of the other, which is the single most common thing families get wrong when they buy on a school.

If the later years matter to you as much as the early ones, check every boundary for the exact address through SD43's locator while your subjects are still in place, not after they are removed.

The catchment on the ground

Where this catchment sits.

The catchment covers central Coquitlam — between Como Lake and Austin Heights, Maillardville-adjacent.

The housing inside that footprint is not uniform, and compressing it into a paragraph here would do it no favours — nor would it help to repeat what is already written elsewhere on this site. For the streets, the stock and the price bands, read Coquitlam neighbourhood guides.

Addresses near a boundary should always be confirmed through the SD43 locator before you rely on them. Boundaries move, and they do not follow the lines people assume from a map.

Feeder elementary schools

Alderson Elementary, Miller Park Community School, Mundy Road Elementary and Roy Stibbs Elementary feed into Como Lake Middle.

Ministry of Education's Student Success database rather than a directory copy. Catchment boundaries for elementary and middle are drawn separately, so confirm any boundary-edge address through SD43's locator before relying on it.
