A small school with a big view.
Shuimei Elementary opened in 1962 in Waipu District's southwest corner, backed by Shuiwei Mountain and fronting the Dajia River — a setting directly reflected in the school's own name, which means “beautiful water.” It remains a small, boutique-scale school (小而美), with only six general classes plus three kindergarten classes.
水美國小創立於民國51年（1962年），位於外埔區西南角，背倚水尾山、面向大甲溪——這樣的環境正呼應了校名「水美」的意涵。學校至今仍是小而美的迷你學校，僅有六個普通班與三個幼兒園班。
