Pemerintah Republik Indonesia telah menetapkan Standar Nasional Pendidikan (SNP) yang merupakan kriteria minimum yang ditetapkan oleh pemerintah dalam sistem pendidikan. SNP merupakan standar yang harus dipenuhi oleh setiap sekolah dan seluruh pemangku kepentingan dalam mengelola dan menyelenggarakan pendidikan. Melalui analisis data menggunakan metode feature enginering dan K-mean untuk memprediksi kualitas pendidikan sekolah menengah pertama di Kabupaten Bogor menunjukkan bahwa standar pendidikan sekolah menengah pertama di Kabupaten Bogor dipengaruhi secara signifikan oleh nilai pencapaian 3 standar mutu pendidikan, yaitu standar pendidik dan tenaga kependidikan, standar sarana dan prasarana, serta standar pengelolaan. Sehingga Dinas Pendidikan Kabupaten Bogor perlu memfokuskan arah kebijakan untuk meningkatkan mutu pendidikan SMP pada indikator yang mempengaruhi 3 standar tersebut. Hasil klasterisasi K-mean mutu sekolah menunjukkan bahwa SMP di Kabupaten Bogor dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok besar tingkat mutu pendidikan, yaitu di bawah nilai tingkat mutu pendidikan 5,07 sebanyak 57,12% SMP dan sisanya di atas nilai tingkat mutu pendidikan 5,07 sebesar 42,88% SMP. Pengembangan lebih lanjut dari model tersebut perlu dikembangkan lebih lanjut ke tingkat sub-indikator sehingga mutu sekolah dapat lebih spesifik diukur, dan data yang digunakan sebagai bahan analisis diperluas dan diperkaya oleh data pendidikan lain dari berbagai sektor sehingga model yang dikembangkan dapat lebih komprehensif dalam mengukur pencapaian mutu pendidikan.

The government of the Republic of Indonesia has established the National Education Standard (SNP) which is the minimum criterion set by the government in the education system. SNP is a standard that must be met by every school and all stakeholders in managing and delivering education. Through data analysis using feature enginering and K-meann methods to predict the quality of junior high school education in Bogor Regency shows that the junior high school education standards in Bogor Regency are significantly influenced by the achievement value of 3 education quality standards, namely educator and education staff standards, facilities and infrastructure standards, and management standards. So that the education office of Bogor Regency needs to focus the direction of policies to improve the quality of junior high school education in indicators that affect these 3 standards. The results of the k-men clustering of school quality showed that junior high schools in Bogor Regency were divided into 2 major groups of education quality level, namely below the value of the 5.07 education quality level as many as 57.12% of junior high schools and the rest above the value of the 5.07 education quality level of 42.88% of junior high schools. Further development of the model needs to be further developed to the level of sub-indicators so that school quality can be more specifically measured, and the data used as analysis material is expanded and enriched by other educational data from various sectors so that the model developed can be more comprehensive in measuring the achievement of education quality. Keywords: quality assurance system, K-mean, feature engineering, modeling INTRODUCTION Education is one of the important gates to improve community welfare (Fadliyah et al., 2019). Education opens up opportunities for individuals and communities to develop themselves and realize their ideals. In this context, education is a means to obtain knowledge and is a basic right of every resident so that the fulfillment of this right is an obligation of the government (Inkiriwang et al., 2020). Considering the quality of education in Indonesia, the current condition of education in Indonesia is far from good. This is evidenced by the Education Index published by the Human Development Report – United Nations Development Progrogmme (UNDP), that Indonesia is ranked1.16 out of 1.91 countries with a Human Development Index (HDI) index of 0.705 in 2021/2 022 . The INDP data shows that the increase in education in Indonesia is relatively slow with an increasing rate of 0.95% HDI for the period 1990-2022 (United Nations Development Programme., 2022). Nevertheless, the Indonesian government continues to strive to improve the quality of education. One of these efforts is to establish a National Education Standard (SNP) which is the minimum criterion set by the government in the education system in all jurisdictions of Indonesia (Government Regulation No. 4 of 2022).
