The development of education is an integral part of Indonesia's national goal to educate the nation, demanding equitable access to enhance human resource quality. Schools, as key institutions closely linked to society and under public scrutiny, must continuously strive to improve quality through the roles of principals, teachers, students, facilities, and ongoing collaboration. This study examines quality improvement at MTs Sunan Ampel Sidoraharjo using a qualitative approach with field research methods (interviews, observations, documentation). Results show that curriculum and teaching management, educational personnel management, and student management by the madrasah principal are adequately effective. Efforts include establishing quality policies, optimizing resources, and prioritizing students as primary stakeholders. However, obstacles include low compliance, understanding, and work ethic among staff, as well as suboptimal human and financial resources.
