There are 495 schools in the USA with the word avenue in the name.

The word "avenue" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to historical and geographic naming conventions in American cities and towns. As cities expanded, streets were often designated as "avenues," which typically run in a straight line and sometimes denote important thoroughfares within a community. Many schools were established on or near such major roads, and incorporating "avenue" into the school name made it easier for residents to identify the school's location. Additionally, naming schools after streets or avenues helped create a sense of community identity and belonging. Over time, the use of "avenue" in school names became a traditional practice, reflecting both practical considerations and local heritage.
