From a branch campus to an independent school.
Jingzhong Elementary started life on August 1, 1974, as the "Linsen Elementary School Jingzhong Branch," drawing its first three first-grade classes from the Linsen school district. It became an independent school on August 1, 1978, with 13 classes, and was renamed Chiayi City Jingzhong Elementary School in 1982 when Chiayi City became a provincial city. The school's buildings underwent a major renovation completed in December 2014.
