There are 19 schools in the USA with the word knob in the name.

The word "knob" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance, particularly in certain regions. In many parts of the United States, especially the Midwest and South, "knob" refers to a natural landscape feature such as a rounded hill or prominent rise. These geographic features often became central points for early settlements and communities, providing natural landmarks for naming local institutions, including schools. Over time, as towns and cities developed around these areas, the names of the local hills or "knobs" were frequently adopted for schools to reflect local heritage and foster community identity. This tradition has continued, making "knob" a recognizable and meaningful term in the naming of public schools.
