There are 10 schools in the USA with the word andersen in the name.

The word "Andersen" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to its association with notable historical and cultural figures, such as Hans Christian Andersen, the famous Danish author of fairy tales. Schools often choose to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to literature, education, or community development, and Andersen's work has had a lasting impact on storytelling and childhood literacy. Additionally, the prevalence of Scandinavian heritage in various regions of the United States, particularly in the Midwest, has influenced the selection of names that reflect local cultural roots and identities. Naming schools after respected figures like Andersen is a way to inspire students and acknowledge the enduring value of creativity, imagination, and educational excellence.
