There are 61 schools in the USA with the word pike in the name.

The word "pike" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical association with important roads and travel routes, particularly in the eastern United States. Traditionally, a "pike" referred to a turnpike, which was a major highway or toll road used for the movement of people and goods. Many communities developed near these turnpikes, and schools were often named after the significant roads that ran through or by them, reflecting the importance of these routes in local history and daily life. Over time, the word "pike" became a familiar part of the geographic identity of neighborhoods and towns, and its presence in school names serves as a reminder of the area's historic connection to transportation and growth. This naming practice also helps preserve local heritage and provides students with a sense of place linked to their community's development.
