The government encourages Vocational High Schools to carry out organizational transformation to become Regional Public Service Bodies. Through BLUD, SMKs with superior products can manage finances and production processes more flexibly without violating regulations so that school effectiveness can be achieved. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence SMK-BLUD schools' effectiveness through school independence using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis. The data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to 231 respondents from students, teachers, school principals, and committees in 25 SMKBLUDs in East Java and DKI Jakarta. It is known that the variables focus on customers, focus on processes, and continuous improvement have a positive and significant impact on school effectiveness. In addition, the independence of each school indirectly also has a positive and significant effect on school effectiveness. The results of this modeling show the value of Predictive Relevance (Q2) of 0.965, meaning that this model has a good Predictive Relevance.
