Born from a campaign to shorten a long walk to school.
Lantian Elementary School became independent in 1951, growing out of a 1949 branch campus of Shanjiao Elementary School. The school owes its existence to a grassroots campaign: local village leaders and a county councilman lobbied for a school of their own so that children in the area would no longer need to walk one to two hours to reach Shanjiao Elementary. A kindergarten was added to the campus in 1995.
藍田國小於民國40年（1951年）獨立設校，前身為民國38年（1949年）設立的山腳國小分校。學校的誕生源自一場地方請願運動：當地村里長與一位縣議員大力奔走，希望讓孩童不必再步行一到兩小時前往山腳國小上學。附設幼兒園則於民國84年（1995年）成立。
