There are 13 schools in the USA with the word locke in the name.

The word "Locke" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to its association with the influential English philosopher John Locke. John Locke's ideas about individual rights, the social contract, and the importance of education profoundly shaped early American political thought and were highly valued during the founding of the United States. Naming schools after him reflects an educational tradition of honoring thinkers who advocated for democracy, the pursuit of knowledge, and the intellectual development of students. Additionally, some schools may bear the name "Locke" to honor local historical figures, families, or landmarks that held significance in the community, further embedding the name into the educational landscape. As a result, the presence of "Locke" in school names highlights both a respect for important Enlightenment values and a connection to local or national heritage.
