Formed from three villages, tested by a typhoon.
Guting Elementary School was formed in 1937, during the Japanese colonial era, through the merger of three earlier village schools — Tuwei, Guoling, and a Dafu branch classroom — under the original name "Guting Main Public School." The school survived catastrophic damage from Typhoon Oper in 1972 and rebuilt to become a pioneer for the whole county: in 1982, it was the first school in Yilan County to implement a school lunch program. Its efforts were recognized nationally in 2012 with the Ministry of Education's Teaching Excellence Gold Award, and the school has run an attached kindergarten since 1997.
古亭國小於1937年(昭和12年,日治時期)由「土圍公學校」、「過嶺公學校」與「大福分教場」三所學校合併而成,最初名為「古亭本公學校」。學校歷經1972年歐珀颱風的重創,浴火重生後成為全縣先驅:民國71年(1982年),古亭國小是全宜蘭縣第一所實施營養午餐的學校。這份努力於民國101年(2012年)獲教育部教學卓越金質獎肯定,學校並自1997年起附設幼兒園。
