There are 49 schools in the USA with the word jane in the name.

The word "Jane" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to the tradition of honoring notable women in American history, education, and local communities. Many schools are named after influential educators, philanthropists, or community leaders who made significant contributions to the field of education or to the development of their neighborhoods, and "Jane" has historically been a popular given name, increasing its likelihood of appearing in school names. Additionally, naming schools after women like Jane Addams, a pioneering social worker and Nobel Peace Prize winner, reflects an effort to recognize and commemorate women's roles in shaping society. In some cases, "Jane" may also appear in conjunction with a surname to distinguish a specific individual whose legacy the school seeks to honor. This practice supports a broader cultural movement to ensure diverse representation and acknowledge the impact of female figures in public institutions.
