Huayu Elementary School

Huayu Elementary began in September 1948 as a branch of Wan'an Elementary School, and became fully independent in February 1952, taking its current name in 1968. Its first graduating class came in 1956, and the school added a kindergarten in 1994 and briefly ran a supplementary school program from 1997 to 2000. The school sits on Huayu Island, 18 nautical miles southwest of the Penghu main island and Taiwan's westernmost point — and it is now the only remaining "third-tier outlying island" (第三級離島) school left in the entire Penghu archipelago, a designation that reflects just how remote and isolated Huayu has become. In June 2025, the school's kindergarten made national news when its sole graduate that year won 24 awards alone at the graduation ceremony — since there was no one else to compete with — a small, poignant story that captured the severity of the island's depopulation.

花嶼國小創立於民國37年（1948年）9月，原為望安國小分校，民國41年（1952年）2月獨立設校，民國57年（1968年）定名為「花嶼國民小學」。民國45年（1956年）產生首屆畢業生，民國83年（1994年）附設幼兒園，並曾於民國86至89年（1997–2000年）辦理補校。學校位於花嶼，距離澎湖本島西南方18海浬，是台灣最西端的有人島，如今更是整個澎湖群島僅存的最後一所「第三級離島」學校——這個等級劃分本身，正說明了花嶼有多麼偏遠孤立。民國114年（2025年）6月，學校附幼唯一一名畢業生因無人可與之競爭，獨自一人囊括畢業典禮上24個獎項，這則新聞一度引發全國關注，也道出了小島人口急遽流失的心酸現實。
