Map: Where Are Confederate-Named Schools?
By Alex Harwin
More recent data can be found here.
Most schools with names tied to the Confederacy are in the South, were built or named after 1950, and have a student body that is majority non-white.
This 2018 map from the 澳门跑狗论坛 Research Center shows where these schools are located. Hover over the dots for more information, including when the school was built or named, and the percentage of non-white students at the school.
You can also toggle to a second map of schools that have changed their name since June 2015. (Note: This map only features schools that have decided on a new name.)
If you have any information about schools named for Confederate figures, including recent name changes or schools we may have missed, please email the 澳门跑狗论坛 Library at library@educationweek.org.
A previous version of this page included interactive maps, which have since been removed.

NOTE: Our map of renamed schools only features schools that have both voted to change the name and decided on a new name.
