Named for a county magistrate, rooted in Xianxi's coast.
Xiaoyang Elementary began as an application submitted in September 1961 and approved that October, opening as a branch of Xianxi Elementary School in Dingli with 6 classes and 3 classrooms. It became an independent school on February 1, 1964, taking the name "Xiaoyang" after the courtesy name of former Changhua County Magistrate Lu Shiming. At independence, the school already had 12 classes and more than 600 students on a U-shaped campus of about 1.2 hectares, and its first graduating class was photographed in July 1965.
