What Families Need to Know
Back-to-School Season on Maryland’s Eastern Shore
As summer winds down, the Eastern Shore comes alive with fresh routines, school buses on the move, and the excitement of a new school year. Families living in Kent County, Cecil County, Queen Anne’s County, Talbot County, and Kent County, Delaware know that strong schools and welcoming communities are at the heart of what makes this region such a special place to call home.
If you’re considering a move, back-to-school season is the perfect reminder that the right home goes hand in hand with the right neighborhood and school district.
Strong Schools, Strong Communities
The Eastern Shore offers excellent educational opportunities for families. Schools in Chestertown, Easton, Centreville, Chesapeake City, and Rock Hall provide strong academic programs, competitive sports, and a wide range of extracurriculars.
For homeowners, being in a desirable school district can also boost property values and make your home more attractive to future buyers. That’s why our Coldwell Banker Chesapeake agents guide families in finding not just the right house, but the right school community.

Tips for Moving During the School Year

Get Involved Early – Join parent associations, youth sports leagues, or local clubs to build connections quickly.
