There are 10 schools in the USA with the word ontario in the name.

The word "Ontario" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the influence of geographic and historical connections. Many towns and cities across the United States are named Ontario, often reflecting early settlers' admiration for the Canadian province of Ontario or the prominent Lake Ontario, a significant body of water along the U.S.-Canada border. These place names are a legacy of westward expansion, with pioneers often naming new communities after places they admired or wanted to honor, and schools naturally adopted the names of their local areas. Culturally, the use of "Ontario" in school names helps foster a sense of community identity and continuity by reflecting the local or regional heritage. This naming tradition is common in education, where schools often take on the names of the neighborhoods, towns, or notable geographic features in which they are located.
