What's the most common name for high schools in the U.S.?

Hey everyone! So, I was thinking about this the other day and got curious. Just for the fun of it, does anybody know what the most common name is for high schools across the country?

Hey there! That's an interesting question. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the most common name for public high schools in the United States is "Central High School". A lot of communities have a Central High since the name suggests that it's the primary high school in the area. This is often the case in districts that have multiple high schools. So, next time you come across a "Central High School", know that it's part of a larger naming trend!
