- North Rock Creek Korte is an excellent school. My oldest daughter is a student there and she loves it! The 2,3,4,&5 graders are offered a chance to go to an enviormental studies overnight camp every year. My children really enjoy the teachers.

(Rating: 5 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - I am a fifth grader at this school and I enjoy it alot. We get to go to camp every year from 2nd grade up. Fifth graders get an opportunity to do many fun activities. I love our gym!!! It is great. Every kid at our school learns our major bones and muscles starting at Kindergarten. This is a great school.
