There are 138 schools in the USA with the word york in the name.

The word "York" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance. Many American towns and cities are named after places in England, and "York" is a reference to the historic city of York in northern England. This naming tradition can be traced back to the colonial era, when settlers often named new settlements after familiar locations from their homeland as a way to preserve their cultural heritage. As towns called York or with "York" in their names grew, local schools adopted the name to reflect their communities. This practice helps foster a sense of local identity and continuity with the past, making "York" a familiar element in the names of schools across the United States.
