These stages actively involve the principal, vice principal, program coordinator, teachers, and students. The program has been proven to improve students' academic performance. Its success is largely influenced by the effective and efficient application of student management practices. Therefore, the SKS program serves as a strategic alternative for improving the quality of education and achieving academic goals. The results of this study contribute significantly to the field of education and can serve as a reference for policy development and educational practice aimed at enhancing the quality and academic achievement of students.
