There are 39 schools in the USA with the word superior in the name.

The word "superior" is commonly found in U.S. public school names for several historical, geographic, and educational reasons. Geographically, many schools are named after their local region, and "Superior" is a name of cities, counties, and even natural landmarks such as Lake Superior, particularly in the Midwest. Culturally, the word has positive connotations, suggesting excellence, high standards, or aspiration toward better educational outcomes, which aligns with many communities' goals for their schools. Historically, as towns and counties were established across the United States, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the naming often reflected either the hope for the community's prosperity or local geographic features. Using the name "superior" in this context was a way for early settlers and local leaders to express optimism and pride in their educational institutions and communities.
