There are 34 schools in the USA with the word neck in the name.

The word "neck" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance in certain regions, particularly along the East Coast. In colonial times, "neck" was often used to describe narrow strips of land, peninsulas, or areas near bodies of water, and these place names have endured over the centuries. As schools are frequently named after the neighborhoods, geographic features, or historical communities they serve, the use of "neck" in school names reflects the local landscape and heritage. This naming tradition helps preserve regional identity and connects the school community to the area's unique history and environment.
