Beihu Elementary School

Beihu Elementary was established in 1960 as a branch campus of Yong'an Elementary School (永安國民學校北湖分校), becoming an independent school three years later in 1963. Like several of its Xinwu peers, its founding traces the historic pattern of Hakka farming hamlets in the district's interior splitting off their own schools as the local population grew inland from the coast. The school keeps a dedicated school-history room documenting generations of its alumni, and remains one of several small rural elementary schools serving Xinwu's inland farming villages.

北湖國小創立於1960年（民國49年），最初是永安國民學校的分校（永安國民學校北湖分校），三年後（1963年，民國52年）獨立設校。與新屋區內許多學校一樣，北湖的創校歷程反映了新屋內陸客家農村聚落隨人口增長、逐漸從沿海的永安國小分出獨立設校的歷史模式。校內設有校史室，記錄了歷屆校友的足跡，至今仍是服務新屋內陸農村的小型學校之一。
