There are 11 schools in the USA with the word caney in the name.

The word "caney" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its roots in local geography and history, as "caney" often refers to areas where cane plants, such as river cane or switchgrass, grow abundantly. Many places in the southern and central United States, especially regions near rivers and wetlands, were historically described as "caney" or "cane breaks" by early settlers and Indigenous peoples. As communities developed in these areas, local features often inspired the names of towns, neighborhoods, and public institutions, including schools. Naming schools after these geographic markers creates a sense of connection to the local landscape and heritage, preserving regional identity and serving as a reminder of the area's natural environment and cultural history.
