There are 36 schools in the USA with the word ferry in the name.

The word "ferry" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance in many communities. Ferries were once essential modes of transportation across rivers and other bodies of water, often serving as important hubs of commerce and travel before bridges were widely constructed. As a result, towns and neighborhoods that developed near these ferry landings frequently adopted the term "ferry" in their place names, which then extended to local institutions like schools. Naming a school after a ferry or a ferry landing acknowledges the area's local history and the role that these transportation points played in shaping community identity and growth. Additionally, such names help preserve the memory of early settlement patterns and the significance of waterways in American development.
