Leye Elementary School

Leye Elementary School was founded in 1947 as "Taichung City Private Sugar Factory National School" (臺中市私立糖廠國校), established directly by the Taichung Sugar Factory to educate the children of its employees. The school remained under the sugar factory's operation for two decades before the Taichung city government took it over in 1968, converting it into a full public school. Its origins stand as a direct legacy of the Japanese-era sugar industry that once anchored East District's economy.

樂業國小創立於民國36年（1947年），原名「臺中市私立糖廠國校」，由台中糖廠直接設立，以教育廠內員工子弟為目的。學校由糖廠經營近二十年，直至民國57年（1968年）才由台中市政府接管，轉為正式公立學校。其創校淵源直接承襲自日治時期奠定東區經濟基礎的製糖產業。
