There are 27 schools in the USA with the word residential in the name.

The word "residential" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it reflects the historical and educational tradition of providing on-campus living facilities for students. This terminology is often associated with schools designed to serve students who live too far from daily commuting, such as those in rural areas or specialized programs. Geographically, residential schools have played an important role in making education accessible to students from remote or underserved communities by allowing them to reside on campus during the academic year. Culturally, the presence of the word "residential" can indicate a school's commitment to creating a close-knit, structured learning environment that extends beyond regular classroom hours. In this context, "residential" signals a broader support system designed to foster academic, social, and personal growth among students who spend significant time away from home.
