There are 14 schools in the USA with the word yuma in the name.

The word "Yuma" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its strong historical and geographic significance. "Yuma" refers to both a city and county in Arizona, as well as a region along the Colorado River that was historically inhabited by the Yuma, or Quechan, Indigenous people. The name reflects the area's deep cultural roots, representing the blend of Native American heritage and the later development brought by settlers. Schools often adopt local place names to foster community identity and pride, and using "Yuma" helps ground educational institutions in the rich history and geographic uniqueness of the region. This practice highlights the locality's importance and celebrates the contributions of both Indigenous communities and historical events associated with the area.
