Growth tied to a railway station's move.
Hsinhu Elementary School was founded in 1932 during the Japanese colonial era as "Shin-Kou-Kou Public School" (新湖口公學校). Its predecessor institution built an assembly hall in 1938, which was designated a Hsinchu County heritage site in 2018 for its historic and architectural value. The school's growth was closely tied to the 1929 relocation of Hukou Train Station to the nearby Xiabeishi area, which drew population and development to the school's catchment. Today the school faces the opposite challenge of its early years — overcrowding, driven by continued population growth in the area.
新湖國小創立於昭和7年（1932年）日治時期，前身為「新湖口公學校」。其前身機構於昭和13年（1938年）興建的講堂，於2018年被新竹縣政府指定為縣定古蹟，肯定其歷史與建築價值。學校的發展與昭和4年（1929年）湖口車站遷移至下北勢地區密切相關，帶動了學區的人口與發展。如今學校面臨的挑戰恰與早年相反——因當地人口持續成長而產生的班級過多問題。
