Rebuilt after disaster, rooted in community.
Jinde Elementary School began in 1961 as a branch of Chenggong Elementary School, becoming independent in 1963. Named for Jinhua Road, the school shares its origin story with the neighboring Lixing and Chenggong Elementary Schools, all products of East District's postwar growth. In 1999, the school suffered serious building damage in the catastrophic 921 earthquake, and students studied for a time in temporary container classrooms while the campus was rebuilt.
進德國小前身為民國50年（1961年）設立的成功國小分班，民國52年（1963年）獨立設校。校名取自進化路，與鄰近的力行國小、成功國小同樣源自東區戰後發展的歷史脈絡。民國88年（1999年），學校在921大地震中校舍嚴重受損，師生一度以組合屋教室應急上課，直至校舍重建完成。
