There are 14 schools in the USA with the word ninth in the name.

The word "ninth" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to a combination of historical and geographic factors tied to community development and urban planning. Many American cities and towns are organized on a grid system, with streets and neighborhoods numbered sequentially. As these communities grew and schools were constructed to serve local populations, the institutions were often named after the street or district in which they were located, such as Ninth Street or Ninth Ward. Additionally, numbering schools-such as "Ninth Elementary School" or "Ninth Avenue School"-helped distinguish them within growing school districts and ensured clarity for residents. This practice reflects a broader tradition in American education of using practical, location-based naming conventions to create an immediate association with the neighborhood each school serves.
