Dongshan Elementary School

Dongshan Elementary School began in 1927 as a branch classroom of Xizhi Public School serving the Shikongzi (石硿子) area, established to educate the children of families who had moved into the district for coal mining during the Japanese colonial era. It became the independent Taipei County Dongshan Elementary School in 1946. Sitting on the mountain road connecting Xizhi to Pingxi, it is often called New Taipei's smallest or most miniature public elementary school, and a Japanese-era commemorative stone monument still stands near its gate.

東山國小創立於日治時期民國16年（1927年），前身為汐止公學校石硿子分教場，設立目的是為服務日治時期因採煤產業遷入本地的礦工家庭子女。民國35年（1946年）獨立設校，定名「台北縣立東山國民學校」。學校座落於連接汐止與平溪的汐平公路上，常被稱為新北市規模最迷你的公立國小，校門附近至今仍立有一座日治時期的紀念石碑。
