I was pissed that Durmstrang was supposed to be in Scandinavia but there was no Norse magic. Someone created vølurheim and it's really awesome. You should check it out.
Perhaps there are multiple campuses of the school. And each campus has a rivalry with one another, though they all recognize the others' superiority over other schools.
The point is, even if the community is a small portion of the population, Ilvermorny has to be *way* bigger student population wise than hogwarts, simply due to the difference in total population between the US and Britain. This of course assumes that the percentage of magically gifted children is equal between the countries.
I would also assume the way they teach would be very different as America is a nation of immigrants and so magic from various cultures would be brought in and the students would be taught all of it
It's quite possible that on a reservation, there may be more open use of magic. After all, Native American culture accepts the existence of the magic of the natural world.
There's also only one wizard school in latin america. One school for the whole fucking continent. And it's in brazil, literally the only big country in latin america that speaks a different language
How about poor old Australia? There are THREE wizarding schools in close proximity and easy access in Europe, but we poor old Aussies ain't got a single wizarding school! And it's not like we can catch a train or something to the nearest country and go to that school! NOPE! We are stuck in the middle of the freaking sea! HOW DO WE GO TO SCHOOL?!?!?! HOW!!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Built by inventor and remote control pioneer John Hays Hammond, Jr. in 1926-29.
I suggest that he was a Muggle obsessed Wizard much like Arthur Weasley and built the castle to be the Hammond Institute for Advanced Magical Studies, much like the Muggle Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton New Jersey, where Albert Einstein spent his remaining years.

Much like IAS, HIAMS is a place where magical Einsteins can go to further their research.
With the release of Fantastic Beasts, I propose that it is an affiliate of Ilvermorny.
I suppose it could also fill a DARPA like role for the Magical Congress of the United States of America.
Well I mean canonically I can think of two; Ilvermorny from Fantastic Beasts and the Salem Institute mentioned in book four. I'm sure there are others, they just weren't mentioned
Jk rowling released a complete list of magic schools and salem institute was not mentioned, people think it may not be a school but some other sort of institute, like a flying/quidditch school or sth like that
But I also imagine since it is the American school and only purebloods are allowed to reproduce with each other, then the population could actually be small enough that Livermorny would be around the size of a university campus.
