Founded inside a Confucian academy.
Dadu Elementary first held classes in 1899 inside the Wenchang shrine of Huangxi Academy (磺溪書院), a Qing-dynasty Confucian academy — making it Dadu District's oldest school. It relocated twice before finally settling on donated land in 1938, and has since been designated a national "Leadership Lighthouse School," recognizing it among Taiwan's model schools.
大肚國小1899年始於磺溪書院文昌祠內開課，該書院為清代儒學書院——使其成為大肚區歷史最悠久的學校。學校歷經兩次遷校，於民國27年（1938年）落腳於捐贈土地上的現址，此後獲教育部評選為「標竿典範學校」，成為全台模範學校之一。
