There are 13 schools in the USA with the word coon in the name.

The word "coon" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to historical and geographic factors. Many schools are named after local landmarks, such as rivers, creeks, or towns, that bear the name "Coon," which often originates from the common raccoon native to North America. Early settlers frequently named areas after notable wildlife or natural features, and these names were retained as communities developed and public institutions like schools were established. Over time, these place names became embedded in local culture and identity, and naming schools after them was seen as a way to honor the local landscape and heritage. The use of "coon" in school names typically reflects these historical naming practices rather than any contemporary intent.
