There are 78 schools in the USA with the word rome in the name.

The word "Rome" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to the widespread tradition of naming towns and cities after notable places from ancient history, especially those associated with classical civilizations. Ancient Rome is recognized as a symbol of leadership, civic virtue, and educational advancement, which are values many schools aim to promote. The name often reflects a community's interest in linking their identity to the ideals of classical learning, democracy, and enduring cultural achievements. Additionally, some schools are simply named after the towns or cities they serve, which themselves were named "Rome" by early settlers seeking to evoke the grandeur and legacy of the Roman Empire. This historical and cultural connection helps foster a sense of tradition and aspiration within the school community.
