An old swallow-emblem school with a modern choir.
Dacun Elementary traces its roots to 1914, when it opened as a branch of Yuanlin Public School under the name "大庄分校." In 1916 it was renamed Yanwu Public School, echoing the township's historical place name "燕霧大莊" (Yanwu Dazhuang) — a heritage still reflected in the school's swallow (燕) emblem today. The school took its current name, Dacun National School, in 1941, and in recent years has become known nationally and internationally for both its choir and its English-immersion teaching.
大村國小創校於民國3年（1914年），最初為員林公學校的分校，稱作「大庄分校」。民國5年（1916年）更名為燕霧公學校，呼應大村舊地名「燕霧大莊」——這段歷史至今仍反映在學校以燕子為意象的校徽上。民國30年（1941年）改稱大村國民學校。近年來，學校在合唱與英語浸潤教學方面皆享有國內外知名度。
