There are 20 schools in the USA with the word ventura in the name.

The word "Ventura" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance, particularly in California. The name originates from Mission San Buenaventura, one of the Spanish missions established along the California coast in the late 18th century, and the city of Ventura grew around this mission. Over time, the term "Ventura" became associated with the surrounding region, reflective of its Spanish colonial heritage and its meaning of "good fortune" or "luck" in Spanish. As communities in the area grew, many public institutions, including schools, adopted the name to reflect local history and regional identity. Using "Ventura" in school names also serves to foster a sense of belonging and pride among students and residents, by connecting them to the area's rich cultural and historical roots.
