    That's not a great analogy. "Exampleton High School" is a named high school. If the high schools in an area were simply numbered, it would be fine to common case them: high school I, high school II, high school III, etc.

    Cf. page 1, page 2, page 3; step I, step II, step III.

    Disagree again, because it's a location. Think 'District 3', 'Ward III', 'Precinct III', 'Region III', etc. When elections role around, specific numbered precincts are often capitalized and treated as proper nouns because they encapsulate a whole area.

    Hell there are whole townships and even businesses named after the ward they were recognized to exist in, like Ward III (which is a bar in New York), but that's a stretch.
