A school known by its Paiwan name.
Wangjia Elementary School serves Wangjia Village, a traditional Paiwan village in Laiyi Township still widely known by its Paiwan place name, "Vungalid" — a name the school itself uses on its Facebook page, reflecting a strong sense of indigenous cultural identity. The school runs an attached kindergarten and is supported by child-welfare outreach programs as a remote mountain-area school.
