A convoluted history, settled in Lingya since 1980.
Lingya-Zhongzheng Elementary began in February 1947 in Gushan District as the privately run Shoushan National School, then went through multiple renamings and relocations before settling in Lingya District in 1980. Like the senior high school of the same name, it honors Chiang Kai-shek, and its winding institutional path reflects Kaohsiung's broader postwar consolidation of ad hoc schools into the stable system that exists today. This is a separate institution from Zhongzheng Senior High School and from an unrelated vocational high school of a similar name in Qianzhen District.
中正國小創立於民國36年(1947年)2月,最初於鼓山區以私立壽山國民學校之名成立,此後歷經多次更名與遷校,1980年遷入苓雅區現址。與同名的中正高中一樣,校名紀念蔣中正;其輾轉的校史也反映了戰後高雄將臨時學校整併為穩定學制的過程。本校與中正高中、以及前鎮區另一所校名相近但無關的高工,皆為各自獨立的學校。

📜 A Microcosm of Postwar Consolidation
戰後整併歷程縮影
Its convoluted name-and-site history traces the broader pattern of postwar Kaohsiung folding ad hoc wartime-era schools into a stable public system.
A history of postwar consolidation.
The school's winding path — from a 1947 private school in Gushan to a 1980 relocation into Lingya District — mirrors the broader story of how postwar Kaohsiung folded scattered, ad hoc schools into today's stable public system. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
