<![CDATA[Abstract: The objective of this study is to analyze the quality of public school services and student satisfaction, with a focus on the population of students in public senior high schools (SMA) and vocational high schools (SMK) in Jayapura, Papua. This research employs a quantitative approach using a regression analysis model. The quality of school services was measured using the SERVQUAL (Service Quality) approach, which encompasses five primary dimensions commonly referred to as RATER: reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy, and responsiveness. Meanwhile, student satisfaction was assessed using three main indicators, namely expectation conformity, intention to revisit, and willingness to recommend. The findings indicate that school service quality has a positive and significant effect on student satisfaction. This is evidenced by the t-value of 24.654 and a significance value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.612, indicating that school service quality contributes 61.2% to the variation in student satisfaction. Based on these findings, the study recommends the implementation of holistic service improvement strategies, including the enhancement of facilities and infrastructure, optimization of administrative services, transparency in academic information, responsiveness to student needs, and empathy in delivering services to students.
