There are 11 schools in the USA with the word third in the name.

The word "third" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it often reflects the sequential order in which schools were established within a particular district or city. As communities expanded, schools were frequently named in numerical order (such as First, Second, and Third) to indicate their place in the timeline of local educational development. This naming convention helped communities easily distinguish among multiple schools and provided a simple, organized way to identify each institution. Additionally, using numbers in school names was a practical solution during periods of rapid population growth, when new schools had to be named quickly and consistently. Over time, these ordinal names became a traditional part of the educational landscape in many American cities and towns.
