There are 32 schools in the USA with the word wilder in the name.

The word "Wilder" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its association with notable historical figures and cultural influences. For example, Laura Ingalls Wilder, the celebrated author of the "Little House on the Prairie" series, has inspired many communities to name schools after her in recognition of her impact on American literature and her depiction of pioneer life. Additionally, the term "wilder" evokes themes of exploration, nature, and the American frontier, which align with educational values of curiosity and discovery. In some cases, schools may also be named after prominent local individuals or families who contributed to the development of their communities. The use of "Wilder" thus reflects both a tribute to individual achievement and an embrace of broader cultural ideals rooted in American history.
