<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the growth in student enrollment at SD Muhammadiyah PK Banyudono, explain the SABDATAMA management concept as an application of management functions, analyze its implementation as a best practice for school development, and formulate strategies to sustain student growth and school quality. The study employs a descriptive-qualitative approach based on document analysis and reflection on best practices. The primary data consists of student enrollment figures from the school's inception through the 2026/2027 academic year, analyzed in terms of growth trends, fluctuations in student numbers, and their relevance to school management practices. The results indicate that the student population rose from 12 at the school's inception to 576 in the 2026/2027 academic year—a nearly 48-fold increase. This growth reflects rising public confidence in the school. The SABDATAMA management framework—comprising Sabar (Patience), Data (Data), Tata (Organization/Order), and Maju (Progress)—proved effective as a best-practice framework for building trust, utilizing data, structuring service systems, and driving school innovation. The study concludes that SABDATAMA serves as a viable contextual management model for the sustainable development of private, faith-based elementary schools.]]>
