There are 6 schools in the USA with the word jamaica in the name.

The word "Jamaica" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to historical and geographic influences. In several areas of the United States, particularly in states like New York and Massachusetts, neighborhoods and towns were named "Jamaica" dating back to colonial times. This naming often reflected either a connection to the Caribbean island of Jamaica or, in some cases, was derived from indigenous words meaning "beaver" or "land of the beaver." Schools in these communities naturally adopted the local place names as their own, reflecting the area's identity and history. Over time, the word "Jamaica" became embedded in the names of public institutions, including schools, as a way to represent and honor the heritage of their respective regions.
