Dongming Elementary School traces back to 1958, when it began as a branch campus of Rinan Elementary School. It became a fully independent school in 1979 and today remains a small neighborhood school serving the Dongming area, reflecting how Dajia's coastal-plain villages were gradually given their own schools.
