A schoolyard view of Turtle Island.
Daxi Elementary traces its history to 1918, when it opened as a branch of Toucheng Public School under the name 頭城公學校大谷分校. It became independent in 1922 as 大谷公學校, was renamed 大溪國民學校 in 1946, and moved into its current campus building, completed in 1998. The school sits directly opposite Turtle Island (龜山島) on the Pacific coast, next to the scenic Waiao area known as "Honeymoon Bay" (蜜月灣), a popular surfing destination.
大溪國小前身為民國7年（1918年）成立的頭城公學校大谷分校，民國11年（1922年）獨立設校，改名大谷公學校，民國35年（1946年）更名為大溪國民學校，現今校舍於民國87年（1998年）落成啟用。學校正對太平洋上的龜山島，緊鄰外澳「蜜月灣」風景區，是熱門的衝浪勝地。
