Rockcreek is a suburban area known for its extensive trails, parks and namesake country club. The city of about 10,000 is located 13 miles from Portland and 20 miles from Vancouver and the Washington state line. “Rockcreek is a fantastic area,” says Casey Jones, a local Realtor and third-generation Rockcreek resident. “It has a lot going for it, with all of its parks and trails. And it's super walkable. It’s easy for kids to get to and from school.”
Rockcreek is suburban, but it has no HOAs. Instead, it has a voluntary community club, the Rock Creek Community Association. “Usually, when there’s no HOA, there are no events — but that’s not the case for Rockcreeek,” Jones says. “It’s a neighborhood where people look out for each other. We better the community by choice.”

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.
