A school shaped by a shrinking enrollment.
Mingde Elementary opened in August 1977. Enrollment once peaked at 57 classes, but like many schools across Taiwan, it now serves roughly 30 classes and about 750 students amid the country's declining birthrate. The campus borders 磺溪 (Sulfur Creek), a stream whose name and mineral content trace directly back to the volcanic geology underlying Beitou District.
明德國小創校於民國66年（1977年）8月。全盛時期曾達57班，如今受台灣少子化趨勢影響，維持約30班、學生人數約750人。校地緊鄰磺溪，溪水名稱與礦物成分皆直接反映北投地區的火山地質背景。
