Oxford in this case refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford,_Mississippi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford,_Mississippi, where you'll find Oxford University School, in contrast to the somewhat better known University of Oxford. There is a major university in Oxford, but it's the University of Mississippi, which is only marginally less confusing than Cambridge holding two world-leading universities, Harvard and MIT.
