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

The word "rancho" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the historical and cultural influence of Spanish and Mexican heritage in the southwestern United States. Many regions in states such as California, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico were originally part of Spanish and later Mexican land grants known as "ranchos." These areas retained the term as a way to acknowledge their historical roots and distinctive local identity. Incorporating "rancho" into school names often reflects a connection to the land's past and offers a sense of tradition and continuity for the community. Additionally, the use of "rancho" helps convey the unique geographic and cultural legacy of the area to students and residents alike.
