There are 12 schools in the USA with the word passaic in the name.

The word "Passaic" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to its historical and geographic significance, particularly in New Jersey. The name originates from the Passaic River and the city of Passaic, both of which have been central to the region's development since colonial times. Schools in the area frequently adopt the name to reflect local pride and to honor the community's roots in Native American and early American history, as the word "Passaic" itself is derived from a Lenape word meaning "valley" or "place where the land splits." By naming public schools after Passaic, districts help to preserve a sense of local identity and continuity while fostering a connection between students and the region's cultural heritage. This tradition also serves to reinforce civic awareness and encourage students to feel a sense of belonging within their own geographic community.
