There are 32 schools in the USA with the word essex in the name.

The word "Essex" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to historical and geographic ties dating back to early colonial times. Many American towns and counties were named after places in England, and Essex is a historic county in southeastern England. As settlers from England established new communities, they often brought familiar names with them, reflecting their heritage and honoring places from their homeland. Over time, these town and county names were adopted by local institutions, including schools, as a way to anchor them within the community's identity and history. As a result, "Essex" appears frequently in school names across different states, signifying a nod to both local geography and the cultural legacy of the area's founders.
