Founded to relieve a booming city's schools.
Jianguo Elementary School opened on February 1, 1991, when the Zhongxiao and Pantao neighborhoods and part of Shanxia li were split off from Toufen Elementary School's catchment area to relieve overcrowding. The new school reflected Toufen's rapid transformation from a Hakka market town into a fast-growing satellite city of the Hsinchu science-industry corridor. Jianguo has since been recognized in Taiwan's "Reading for Tomorrow" (明日閱讀) achievement program for its reading culture.
