Pinglin Elementary School

Pinglin Elementary traces its origins to the Japanese colonial era, when it began as a branch teaching site. Over the decades it grew into the "mother school" of several communities in Zhuolan Township, spinning off multiple branch schools that later became fully independent: the Caoliao Branch, now Jingshan Elementary School, and the Shuanglian Branch, now Shuanglian Elementary School. It also once oversaw the Baifan Branch, which was later transferred to Neiwan Elementary. The school is also known for its notable achievements in folk dragon-dance activities.

坪林國小的歷史可追溯至日治時期，最初以分教場的形式設立。歷經數十年發展，坪林國小成為卓蘭鎮多個社區的「母校」，先後分出多所分校，日後獨立設校：草寮分校（今景山國小）與雙連分校（今雙連國小）。學校也曾管轄白布帆分校，後來改隸內灣國小。此外，坪林國小在民俗舞龍活動方面表現亮眼。
