There are 6 schools in the USA with the word batavia in the name.

The word "Batavia" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance. Many towns and cities across the United States, particularly in the Midwest and Northeast, adopted the name "Batavia" in the 18th and 19th centuries, reflecting either settlers' connections to European cities or a nod to the classical name for the Netherlands. As communities grew and established local institutions, the name was naturally extended to schools, resulting in "Batavia" being a familiar part of educational nomenclature. The use of place names for public schools helps foster a sense of local identity and pride among students, staff, and residents. Additionally, naming schools after the town or city they serve helps clarify school district boundaries and reinforces their connection to the community they represent.
