There are 28 schools in the USA with the word five in the name.

The word "five" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to historical and geographic reasons related to the organization of school districts or administrative divisions. In many areas, schools are numbered based on the order of their establishment within a district, so "Five" often indicates that the school was the fifth to be created in that particular system. This method of naming is intended to provide clarity and simplicity for both residents and officials within rapidly growing communities. Additionally, using numbers in school names avoids the need to select potentially contentious or duplicative names, ensuring that schools are easily identifiable. The practice reflects a longstanding tradition in American public education of using functional, straightforward naming conventions.
