May I suggest: Tupac Skakur Elementary School, Notorious B.I.G. Elementary School, Louis Farrakhan High School, Mumia Abu Jamal School of Advanced Studies.

You are almost there with your last name. To get the contemporary flavor you need to add some words like: Tupac Shakur Academy of Excellence, Louis Farrakhan Institute of Advanced and Applied Theory, Notorious B.I.G. Center for Science and Technology. Same crappy schools with the same students, but now with longer, much more uplifting names.

Quite right. Here in Pittsburgh we have The Barack Obama Academy of International Studies. The grade 6 - 12 school is an International Baccalaureate school and was named for Pres Obama in 2009. Despite the name, enrollment at this public school has slipped, and the percentage of students achieving proficiency in math is 31% (which is lower than the Pennsylvania state average of 46%) for the 2016-17 school year. The percentage of students achieving proficiency in reading/language arts is 48% (which is lower than the Pennsylvania state average of 63%) for the 2016-17 school year. Overall, Pittsburgh Obama 6-12 placed in the bottom 50% of all schools in Pennsylvania for overall test scores (math proficiency is bottom 50%, and reading proficiency is bottom 50%) for the 2016-17 school year. But the name is an excellent name, very uplifting, as you point out.
