A shared origin, split into two schools in 1937.
Lingzhou Elementary shares its founding root with nearby Chenggong Elementary: both trace back to April 1, 1904, when the school opened during the Japanese colonial era as the Lingyaliao Branch of Takao Public School (打狗公學校苓雅寮分校). In 1905, the school moved to Lingyaliao proper — the site occupied by Chenggong Elementary today — before being renamed Kaohsiung No. 2 Public School in 1921. A second campus was established at Guotianzi in 1937, becoming today's separate Lingzhou Elementary School. The two schools are historical "siblings" rather than unrelated institutions.
苓洲國小與鄰近的成功國小系出同源：兩校皆可追溯至1904年4月1日設立的「打狗公學校苓雅寮分校」（日治時期）。1905年，學校遷至苓雅寮本地——即今日成功國小現址，1921年更名為「高雄第二公學校」。1937年，於「過田仔」增設第二校區，即今日獨立的苓洲國小。兩校堪稱歷史上的「姊妹校」，而非彼此無關的學校。

📜 Over a Century of Shared and Separate History
跨越百年的分合校史
From a single 1904 branch to two distinct schools since 1937, Lingzhou's history is a study in how one historic Lingyaliao root grew into two separate institutions.
Sibling to a school that named a district.
Lingzhou traces back to the same 1904 branch of Takao Public School in Lingyaliao (苓雅寮) as neighboring Chenggong Elementary, splitting into a separate campus only in 1937 — two schools sharing one historic root. See the Kaohsiung county page for more on the region.
