There are 23 schools in the USA with the word berkeley in the name.

The word "Berkeley" is commonly found in the names of U.S. public schools for several historical and cultural reasons. Many places across the United States are named after George Berkeley, an influential 18th-century Irish philosopher and Anglican bishop who was known for his advocacy of education and his early vision of establishing schools and colleges in the American colonies. As these places developed, local institutions, including public schools, often adopted the name as a way to reflect their community's heritage and historical roots. Additionally, the name "Berkeley" became associated with academic excellence, in part due to the prominence of the University of California, Berkeley, further encouraging its use in educational settings. Over time, this tradition has contributed to the widespread use of "Berkeley" in school names across the country.
