There are 87 schools in the USA with the word bethel in the name.

The word "Bethel" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and cultural significance within American communities. Originating from a Hebrew term meaning "house of God," Bethel is a name that appears frequently in the Bible and was adopted by many early American settlers, especially those influenced by Christian religious traditions. As settlers established towns and neighborhoods across the United States, they often named these places after biblical sites to reflect their values, hopes, or spiritual heritage. This tradition has extended to local institutions, including schools, which frequently adopt the names of their communities. Thus, schools named "Bethel" typically reflect the historical influence of religious and cultural roots in the naming of towns throughout the country.
