This research was conducted to find the groups of elementary schools in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, also known as DKI Jakarta. Elementary school data were selected because it is the first stage of formal education in Indonesia. This research used K-means clustering with the elbow method to determine optimal cluster numbers. The optimal cluster number is three with Cluster 2 having the most members, followed by Cluster 1 and Cluster 0. The data distribution of Cluster 2 shows that the second-most student body and public schools located in East and West Jakarta have an adequate student-to-teacher ratio based on Article 17 of Government Regulation 74, 2008.
