There are 110 schools in the USA with the word rice in the name.

The word "rice" commonly appears in U.S. public school names due to its connection to prominent individuals and families in American history, particularly those who played important roles in local or state education, community development, or philanthropy. For example, the Rice family name is notable in several regions, and many schools are named in honor of educators, benefactors, or public figures who contributed significantly to their communities. Additionally, in some areas with agricultural history, especially in southern states where rice cultivation was historically important, the name may also reflect the region's economic and cultural heritage. Naming schools after local figures or significant agricultural products helps foster a sense of identity and pride within the community. This practice is a way to honor legacy and inspire students by connecting the history and values of their surroundings to their educational institutions.
