Rebuilt after the 921 earthquake.
Taoyuan Elementary began in 1951 as a branch of Xinan National School serving Taomi Village, becoming independent the following year in 1952. It took its current name, Taoyuan Elementary, in 1968. The devastating 921 earthquake of 1999 badly damaged the campus, and the school was substantially rebuilt between 2001 and 2002 — part of a wave of school reconstruction across the Puli basin in the earthquake's aftermath.
桃源國小於1951年以溪南國小分校形式成立，服務桃米里，隔年（1952年）獨立設校，1968年定名為桃源國民小學。1999年的921大地震嚴重損毀校舍，學校於2001至2002年間大規模重建，是震後埔里盆地校園重建浪潮的一部分。
