Hello - My husband is being relocated to work in Wilmington DE.
We have a 9 year old who plays hockey
I would like to know best school districts
If we should live in DE or PA or MD?
We will buy a house 400-425k range
I don't want his commute to be too long!

Hockey Clubs:
Delaware Ducks (Patriot Center, Newark)
Delaware Blue Hens (University of Delaware, Newark)
Chester County Cougars (Kennett Square) closer to Hockessin, DE
Delco Phantoms (Aston, PA) closer to North Wilmington

Hockessin, DE in the Red Clay Consolidated School District is a very decent commute into Wilmington but a nice area for families to live. It has a nice small town feel! Highly rated elementarys - North Star or Cooke are on opposite sides of Hockessin. Both feed into HB du Pont middle. Don’t be alarmed at HB’s low scores on school rating sites, it is an amazing school! Hockessin families love it, very community oriented! High School is usually a top three in the state school - Charter School of Wilmington, Cab Calloway School of the Arts, or Conrad Schools of Science. Must be a Red Clay resident to get into these schools. Top 3 in the state and in top 20 in the whole Philly Metro Area. . Hockessin area not far to Chester County rink or to either the Patriot Center and U of D ice rinks.

Another alternative is to live in Kennett, PA, right over state line from Hockessin. (Chester County Cougars rink located here) Garnet Valley, PA is another good one not to faraway and close to Aston, PA IceWorks Rink.

MD is too far for reasonable commute with subpar schools.
