Jhongjhou Elementary School has a history that dates back to 1921,

when it was established as a branch classroom of Xuejia Public School.

In 1926, it became an independent school named Jhongjhou Public School,

with the first principal being a Japanese individual named Takeo Suenaga.

During the Japanese colonial period, the school implemented Japanization policies,

leading to unequal treatment of Taiwanese students and a setback in Chinese cultural ​education.

After World War II and the subsequent return of Taiwan to Chinese rule,

the school adopted a Chinese curriculum in 1945 and was renamed Tainan County Xuejia ​Township Second Elementary School.

The school underwent several name changes in the following years.

In 1968, with the implementation of the nine-year compulsory education system in Taiwan,

it was renamed Tainan County Xuejia Township Jhongjhou Elementary School.

Finally, in 2010, following the merger of Tainan County and Tainan City into a special ​municipality,

the school's name was changed to Tainan City Xuejia District Jhongjhou Elementary School, ​which it remains today.
