Taoyuan's most remote mini-school.
Guanghua Elementary began in February 1952 as a branch class of Sanguang Elementary (“三光國民學校光華分班”), was upgraded to full branch-campus status in August 1959, and became independent in August 1962 as “光華國民學校.” Deep in the Xueshan mountain range, this is reportedly the most remote mini-school in all of Taoyuan City: as of recent data, it has only 6 classes and about 13 students total, served by 24 staff. It sits at “Hakawan” (哈嘎灣), the Atayal place name for the area, and its student body is almost entirely Indigenous. In 2024-25, along with Luofu and Changxing elementary schools, it converted into one of Taoyuan's first Indigenous-focused “school-type experimental education” institutions (原住民族學校型態實驗教育學校) in response to severe rural depopulation.
光華國小民國41年(1952年)2月以「三光國民學校光華分班」創立,民國48年(1959年)8月升格為分校,民國51年(1962年)8月獨立設校,定名「光華國民學校」。學校深藏雪山山脈,據稱是全桃園市最偏遠的迷你小學:近年資料顯示全校僅6班、約13名學生,教職員24人。校址位於泰雅語稱為「哈嘎灣」之地,學生幾乎全數為原住民。民國113至114學年度(2024至2025年),與羅浮、長興兩校一同轉型為桃園市首批「原住民族學校型態實驗教育」學校,以因應偏鄉人口嚴重流失的問題。

A mini-school shaped by mountain geography.
As Taoyuan's most remote mini-school, sitting at a site still known by its Atayal name Hakawan, Guanghua exemplifies both the deep mountain geography and the demographic pressures — severe depopulation, tiny class sizes — reshaping Fuxing's Indigenous schools today. See the Taoyuan county page for more on the region.
