A small school shaped by a shrinking island population.
Jibei Elementary dates to the Japanese colonial era and took its current name, "Penghu County Baisha Township Jibei National Elementary School," in 1968. In 1945, the school had six classes and 389 students — a sizeable enrollment for a small offshore island. It added a kindergarten class in 1997, but like many of Penghu's outlying-island schools, enrollment has since declined sharply, down to around 35 students and 14 teachers in recent years.
吉貝國小校史可追溯至日治時期，於民國57年（1968年）定名為「澎湖縣白沙鄉吉貝國民小學」。民國34年（1945年）時，全校共有6個班級、389名學生，對一座外島小校而言頗具規模。民國86年（1997年）增設幼兒園班，但如同澎湖許多離島學校，近年在學人數已大幅減少，目前約35名學生、14位教師。
