There are 20 schools in the USA with the word behavioral in the name.

The word "behavioral" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the country's emphasis on addressing both academic and social-emotional development in students. Historically, as schools expanded their roles beyond traditional academics, there was a growing recognition of the need to support students with behavioral and emotional challenges, often in response to changing societal dynamics and research in psychology and education. Geographically, districts across the United States have established specialized schools or programs focused on behavioral support to better serve students who may not thrive in a typical classroom setting. Culturally, the inclusion of "behavioral" in a school's name signals a commitment to providing individualized support, promoting positive behavior, and creating a safe and effective learning environment for all students. Over time, this terminology has become widely adopted to reflect schools' missions to help students develop self-regulation, social skills, and coping strategies alongside their academic goals.
