Xinke Junior High School

Xinke Junior High School's preparatory office was established on June 9, 2004, opening shortly after as one of three schools founded simultaneously under a single municipal initiative that year. It is one of Hsinchu's newest junior highs. The school initially borrowed classrooms from Guandong Elementary School to begin enrollment, starting with just 3 classes and 96 students, and has since grown to 24 classes and 636 students. Notably, its name was chosen through direct negotiation with local residents — who rejected the planners' original proposed name, "Keyuan" — reflecting community input in shaping the school. Xinke is known as the city's first bilingual-experimental junior high school.

新科國中籌備處成立於2004年（民國93年）6月9日，隨即開校，是同年由市政府單一計畫同時創立的三校之一，也是新竹市最新設立的國中之一。學校初期借用關東國小教室開始招生，僅3班96名學生，之後成長至24班636名學生。值得一提的是，校名經過與當地居民的直接協商而定，居民否決了規劃單位原先提議的「科園」之名，展現了社區對學校命名的參與。新科國中也是新竹市第一所雙語實驗國中。
