A name built from two villages.
Duba Elementary School was founded in 1954 as a branch of Guantian Elementary School and became independent in 1958. Its name is a compound of the two villages it was founded to serve — "渡" from Dutou Village and "拔" from Balin Village. The school was renamed to reflect its municipal status after the 2010 Tainan county-city merger, and today offers a lion-dance team, a martial-arts team, an art club, and a dance club as core extracurriculars.
渡拔國小創立於民國43年（1954年），原為官田國小分校，民國47年（1958年）獨立設校。校名取自創校時服務的兩個聚落——「渡」取自渡頭里，「拔」取自拔仔林。民國99年（2010年）台南縣市合併後，更名以反映其市立學校身分。學校目前設有醒獅隊、武術隊、美術社與舞蹈社等特色社團。
What makes this school worth knowing.

🌱 From Branch to Independence
由分校獨立設校
Founded in 1954 as a branch of Guantian Elementary, Duba became an independent school in 1958.
🏛️ A Post-Merger Identity
縣市合併後定名
The school's name was adjusted after the 2010 Tainan county-city merger to reflect its status as a municipal school.
Two villages, one school, a dispersed farmland.
Duba's original mission — serving two water-chestnut-farming villages too far from the district center for children to commute — reflects the dispersed rural settlement pattern typical of Guantian's paddy-farming landscape, where many small schools grew up around scattered hamlets. See the Tainan county page for more on the region.
