The founding mother school of Longtan.
Longtan Elementary was approved on January 14, 1899, and opened on March 15, 1899, as "Longyuan Public School" (龍元公學校) — over 125 years old and one of the oldest schools in Taoyuan. It was renamed "Taoyuan County Longtan Township Longtan National School" in 1950, then took its present name, Longtan Elementary School, in 1968. The campus contains a protected Japanese-era teachers' dormitory ("龍潭國小日式宿舍"), officially registered as a historic building by Taiwan's Bureau of Cultural Heritage, and is home to a rare, centuries-old banyan tree and over a hundred plant species, making the campus itself a natural ecology-teaching ground.
龍潭國小於明治32年(1899年)1月14日獲准設校,同年3月15日開學,初名「龍元公學校」,校史逾125年,是桃園最古老的學校之一。民國39年(1950年)改稱「桃園縣龍潭鄉龍潭國民學校」,民國57年(1968年)九年國教實施後定名為「龍潭國民小學」至今。校內保有一棟經文化部文化資產局登錄為古蹟的日式宿舍「龍潭國小日式宿舍」,並擁有一株罕見的百年老榕樹及逾百種植物,使校園本身成為天然的生態教學場域。
