There are 11 schools in the USA with the word lyme in the name.

The word "Lyme" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to historical and geographic factors. Many towns and regions in the northeastern United States, such as Old Lyme and Lyme in Connecticut or Lyme in New Hampshire, were named after Lyme Regis in England, reflecting the early settlers' desire to bring familiar place names from their homeland. These towns established local institutions, including schools, that adopted the community's name as part of their identity. Over time, the name "Lyme" became closely associated with the history and culture of these areas, symbolizing a connection to the early American colonial period. As communities grew, the tradition of naming schools after their locality helped reinforce their heritage and foster a sense of community pride among students and residents.
