Dongshan Elementary School

Dongshan Elementary was founded in September 1900 (民國前12年), originally named 大庄公學校 after the old place name "Dazhuang" (大庄). Over more than a century, it was renamed repeatedly — from 大庄公學校 to 番社公學校, 第一國民學校, 豐田國民學校, and 東山國民學校, before finally becoming 東山國民小學 in August 1968, when Taiwan introduced nine-year compulsory education. Over 125 years old, it is one of the oldest elementary schools in the district. The school runs an "English Word Champion" (英語單字王) vocabulary competition and mother-tongue instruction, and its school lunches use only domestically sourced pork and beef.

東山國小創校於民國前12年（1900年）9月10日，初名大庄公學校，源自舊地名「大庄」。百餘年來歷經多次更名，從大庄公學校、番社公學校、第一國民學校、豐田國民學校，一路改為東山國民學校，並於民國57年（1968年）9月因九年國教實施，正式改稱東山國民小學。學校創校已逾125年，是東山區歷史最悠久的國小之一。校內設有「英語單字王」詞彙競賽及母語教學課程，學校午餐則全面採用國產豬肉與牛肉。
