There are 103 schools in the USA with the word loma in the name.

The word "loma," which means "hill" in Spanish, is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the influence of Spanish language and culture, especially in regions that were once part of Mexico or Spain, such as California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. Many communities in these areas have place names derived from Spanish, reflecting the landscape and history of the region. The use of "loma" in school names often signifies a connection to the local geography, as many schools are built on or near hills and wish to highlight this natural feature. Incorporating Spanish words into school names also reflects the diverse cultural heritage of the community and acknowledges the significant Hispanic and Latino populations in these regions. As a result, "loma" has become a recognizable and meaningful part of the naming tradition for schools in the southwestern United States and other areas with strong historical ties to Spanish-speaking settlers.
