A school that shares its name with a tribal settlement.
Malan Elementary's history connects back to a branch school established alongside what became Sinsheng Elementary on May 18, 1897. The present-day "Malan National School" was newly founded in August 1967, initially borrowing classrooms from Sinsheng Elementary while its own campus was built. Today roughly 100 of the school's approximately 500 students are Amis Indigenous, and the school's name, "馬蘭," refers directly to the historic Amis Malan settlement in Taitung City that it serves.
馬蘭國小的校史可連結至明治30年（1897年）5月18日與新生國小同源設立的分教場。現今的「馬蘭國民學校」則於民國56年（1967年）8月新設，創校初期借用新生國小教室，待自有校舍完工後遷入。目前全校約500名學生中，約100名為阿美族原住民學生，校名「馬蘭」直接取自學校所在地的阿美族馬蘭部落。
