Shipai Elementary opened on April 1, 1922, as a branch classroom of Beitou Public School, becoming independent on April 1, 1926, as Shipai Public School. Enrollment once exceeded 6,000 students, making it historically one of Taiwan's largest elementary schools; today around 2,400 students attend across 108 classes. The school took its current Taipei City form in 1974, following the dissolution of the Yangmingshan Administration.
