There are 6 schools in the USA with the word wasco in the name.

The word "Wasco" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance in certain regions, particularly in states such as California and Oregon. Wasco often originates from Native American languages and refers to the Wasco tribe, a member of the Chinookan peoples who traditionally lived along the Columbia River. The name has since been adopted by several cities, counties, and towns, especially in the Pacific Northwest, which subsequently lends itself to the naming of local institutions such as schools. This use highlights both the local heritage and the enduring recognition of Indigenous cultures and place names in American communities. Naming schools after regional or tribal names can also foster a sense of community identity and respect for the history of the area.
