There are 8 schools in the USA with the word crooked in the name.

The word "crooked" commonly appears in U.S. public school names due to its connection with local geographic features, particularly winding rivers, creeks, or roads. Many towns and regions across the United States include natural landmarks with names such as "Crooked Creek" or "Crooked River," and schools are often named after these distinctive features to reflect and honor the community's landscape and heritage. Historically, settlers and local communities would use descriptive terms when naming places, and "crooked" referred to the meandering shapes of rivers or pathways found nearby. This tradition continues in school naming as a way to establish a sense of place and identity tied to the environment, nurturing local pride and connection among students and residents. By incorporating such names, schools become a recognizable part of the local cultural and geographic narrative.
