There are 16 schools in the USA with the word yates in the name.

The word "Yates" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to its historical and geographical significance. Many schools are named after prominent local figures, community leaders, or individuals who have made substantial contributions to education or civic life-such as Jack Yates, a well-known African American minister and community leader in Texas. In some cases, the name may also reflect a significant family or early settlers in the region where the school is located, serving as a way to honor their legacy and impact. Additionally, the practice of naming schools after influential individuals is intended to inspire students and foster a sense of local heritage and pride. Thus, the frequent use of "Yates" in school names reflects a broader tradition of commemorating important figures or families who have helped shape their communities.
