There are 21 schools in the USA with the word kensington in the name.

The word "Kensington" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic associations. Many American towns and neighborhoods named Kensington were established during periods of expansion when settlers brought familiar names from European locales, particularly from the well-known district of Kensington in London, England. Over time, these place names became embedded in local identity, and schools commonly adopted the name of the surrounding community to foster a sense of belonging among students and residents. Additionally, the word "Kensington" often evokes an image of tradition and stability, which can be appealing to educators and parents when naming educational institutions. As a result, the use of "Kensington" in school names reflects both local heritage and a broader tradition of naming schools after their geographic locations.
