There are 9 schools in the USA with the word points in the name.
The word "points" often appears in U.S. public school names due to historical and geographic influences. Many communities across the United States are named after natural geographic features, such as peninsulas, promontories, or high ground that were referred to as "points" by early settlers and mapmakers. These locations frequently served as important landmarks for navigation, settlement, and local identity, so schools were named after these prominent features to reflect their connection to the surrounding area. Additionally, using "points" in school names helps foster a sense of local pride and community heritage, as it ties the institution to the region's landscape and history. In some cases, the name endures as schools serve students from several neighborhoods converging at a "point," symbolizing unity and shared purpose within diverse populations.
