Jianshan Elementary School

Jianshan Elementary School began in 1951 as a branch campus of Taoyuan Elementary School. In 1970, it merged with another branch campus, 興中分班 (Xingzhong Branch Class), and became an independent school under the name 'Jianshan National Elementary School.' (Note: sources describe the 興中分班 branch as folded into Jianshan at this point and ceasing to exist separately — yet a school called Xingzhong Elementary exists today nearby; no source we found explains how or when that later school was re-established, so this page presents only what is confirmed for Jianshan itself.) The school was designated an Indigenous-focus school in 2004, added a new administration building in 1990, and rebuilt its older classrooms in 1997. It serves a Bunun Indigenous community along the mountain highway corridor.

建山國小創立於1951年（民國40年），最初為桃源國小建山分校。1970年與另一分校「興中分班」合併，獨立設校為「建山國民小學」。（說明：現有資料顯示興中分班於此時併入建山國小、不再獨立存在，但鄰近目前仍有一所「興中國小」，並無資料說明該校後續重新設立的過程，故本頁僅呈現建山國小本身可確認的歷史。）2004年獲指定為原住民重點學校，1990年新建行政大樓，1997年老舊教室改建。學校服務南橫公路沿線的布農族原住民社區。
