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

The word "Exeter" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance in American history. Many towns and cities across the United States were named Exeter by early settlers who wished to honor their origins or to evoke a sense of tradition, often referencing Exeter, England, which itself is an ancient and notable city. As these towns developed, their schools naturally adopted the community's name, leading to widespread use of "Exeter" in school names. Additionally, the name carries connotations of academic excellence due in part to the longstanding reputation of Phillips Exeter Academy, an influential private school in New Hampshire, which may inspire communities to adopt the name for their own institutions. Such naming reflects both a respect for heritage and a desire to associate local education with distinguished historical roots.
