1,700 students, handed off in a single year.
Xinpu Elementary was founded on 1 September 1973, splitting off from the century-old Banqiao Elementary School and taking over more than 1,700 students in a single handoff — a measure of how fast Banqiao's population was growing as Taipei's metro area expanded in the 1970s. The school runs an Arts-Talent Class, is active in reading, library, and science education, and celebrates both Taiwan Mother Language Day and English Day.
新埔國小創校於民國62年（1973年）9月1日，由歷史悠久的板橋國小分設而出，一次即接收超過1,700名學生——反映出1970年代台北都會區擴張下板橋人口爆炸性成長的速度。學校設有美術資優班，積極推動閱讀、圖書與科學教育，並慶祝本土語言日與英語日。
