There are 7 schools in the USA with the word belfry in the name.

The word "belfry" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and cultural associations with community gathering places. Traditionally, a belfry is the part of a bell tower or steeple in which bells are housed, often seen in churches or town halls that served as central locations in early American towns. As schools also became important community centers, the term "belfry" symbolized a place where people come together for shared learning and civic activities. The presence of a school bell, typically housed in a small tower or belfry, further reinforced this connection, as it marked the start and end of the school day and signaled important events. Over time, using "belfry" in school names came to evoke a sense of tradition, heritage, and the role of education in bringing people together.
