A small school with an outsized reputation.
Houpu Elementary traces back to a branch classroom established in 1952, becoming an independent school in 1958. With currently around 114 students, the school punches above its weight: it won the Ministry of Education's Teaching Excellence gold award in 2020, and in 2018 it became a sister school to another Houpu Elementary School in Banqiao, New Taipei City — a rare distinction for a small farming-town school.
後埔國小前身為1952年設立的分教場，1958年（民國47年）獨立設校。目前全校約114名學生，卻表現亮眼：2020年榮獲教育部教學卓越金質獎，並於2018年與新北市板橋區的另一所後埔國小締結姊妹校——對一所農村小校而言相當難得的殊榮。
