There are 49 schools in the USA with the word court in the name.

The word "court" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance. In many communities, especially older ones, "court" referred to the central place for civic and legal gatherings, such as a courthouse or a public square, which often served as important community hubs. Over time, schools built near these areas adopted the term to reflect their location within the civic landscape and their role as centers of learning, much like the courthouse was a center of civic activity. Additionally, the use of "court" in names can also be linked to notable people, places, or historic events in a community that carry local or educational importance, further embedding the word within the tradition of naming public institutions. This naming convention helps reinforce the sense of community and continuity between the educational environment and the broader civic life.
