Ancient ground, and a home for displaced students.
Dayuan Elementary was founded in 1903, during the Japanese colonial era, as a branch facility, becoming a fully independent school in 1906. It is the largest elementary school by campus area in Taoyuan City, and its grounds sit within the Dayuan Jianshan Archaeological Site (大園尖山遺址), designated a county-protected heritage site in 2008. The school built a new main gate in 2003, reoriented to face Zhongshan South Road, with continued facility modernization — including digital-learning upgrades — through 2022. In recent years, Dayuan Elementary has also absorbed transferred students from several nearby elementary schools closed in 2024 due to the Taoyuan Aerotropolis project: Shalun, Zhentou, Houcuo, and Chenkang.
大園國小創立於1903年(明治36年)日治時期,最初為分教場性質,1906年(明治39年)正式獨立設校。學校是桃園市面積最大的國小,校地座落於「大園尖山遺址」之上,該遺址於2008年(民國97年)指定為縣定古蹟。學校於2003年新建正門,改朝向中山南路,並持續進行設施現代化,包括至2022年的數位學習升級工程。近年來,大園國小也接收了多所因桃園航空城計畫於2024年廢校的鄰近小學轉學學童,包括沙崙、圳頭、後厝與陳康國小。
