From a branch school to a "Happy Manor."
Dazhuang Elementary became an independent school in 1955, having previously operated as a branch of nearby Xiangshan Elementary School. It sits in what was historically the largest settlement south of the Kezaizi River, about 7 kilometers from downtown Hsinchu, and has earned the affectionate nickname "幸福庄園" — Happy Manor — reflecting its close ties to the surrounding community. The school has been designated one of Hsinchu City's official Bilingual Schools, running English-assisted activities every Wednesday morning alongside bilingual performing-arts and PE classes. It today enrolls about 677 students across 27 classes and maintains an ecological exploration garden on campus.
大庄國小於民國44年（1955年）由香山國小分校獨立設校。學校位於歷史上柑仔崎溪以南最大聚落，距新竹市區約7公里，並有「幸福庄園」的親切別稱，反映其與在地社區的緊密連結。學校為新竹市指定雙語學校之一，每週三上午安排英語融入活動，並開設雙語表演藝術與體育課程。目前約有27班、677名學生，校內設有生態探索園。

Xiangshan, Hsinchu's coastal Minnan heartland.
Xiangshan District is Hsinchu City's coastal district, long shaped by Minnan and Hakka fishing and farming traditions and fringed by tidal wetlands. Its historic "mother school," Xiangshan Elementary, was founded in 1908 through the philanthropy of a local gentry family, and this school itself began life as one of its branches.
