Efektivitas Website Sekolah sebagai Media Informasi bagi Siswa di Sekolah Menengah Atas 7 Sijunjung

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the school website as a relevant, efficient, and satisfying information medium for students at State Senior High School 7 Sijunjung. Its effectiveness is determined not only by its existence but also by how well its informative, educational, and interactive functions are carried out for students. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, this study analyzes five key indicators: readability, content accuracy, content, efficiency, and user satisfaction, based on a Likert scale questionnaire distributed to 81 students in grades 10 and 11 out of a total population of 396 students. The research instrument has undergone validity and reliability testing, ensuring that the perceptions obtained are sufficiently representative. The analysis results showed an average score of 4.12, indicating that the school website is functioning well, with the highest ratings in readability and satisfaction, and the lowest score in content accuracy, though still within the good category. These findings highlight opportunities for developing content, visualization, and interactive features to support the school's ongoing digital transformation.
