A rural school that teaches its own hometown.
Guilin Elementary School lives by its motto, "打造一所充滿活力朝氣、人文薈萃的田園小學" (Building a vibrant rural elementary school rich in humanities). Its history includes a branch school, Xiazhuang Branch, established in September 1968 and dissolved in 2004, and an attached kindergarten founded in 1979 — evidence that the main school itself predates 1968 by some margin, though no confirmed founding date has been found. The school runs English-language programs including Cool English competitions and Wenguang International English Village activities, an active school chorus and musical performance program, transparent school-lunch nutrition tracking, and a distinctive social-studies unit titled "布袋鎮家鄉100問" (100 Questions About Our Hometown, Budai Township).
貴林國小校訓為「打造一所充滿活力朝氣、人文薈萃的田園小學」。校史可考的紀錄包括民國57年(1968年)9月設立、民國93年(2004年)裁撤的下庄分校,以及民國68年(1979年)成立的附設幼兒園,顯示本校創校時間應早於1968年,惟確切創校年份尚待考證。學校推動包括Cool English競賽及文光國際英語村等英語課程,並設有活躍的合唱及音樂表演活動、透明化的午餐營養公告,以及自編的「布袋鎮家鄉100問」社會科單元,帶領學生深入認識家鄉。
