Abstract
Education plays an important role in improving the quality of human life, but economic constraints often prevent many students from continuing their education. The Smart Indonesia Program (PIP) was launched to address these issues by providing educational assistance. However, in its implementation, the selection of PIP recipients at IT Al-Ikhsan Private Junior High School is still inaccurate. This research aims to classify the eligibility of PIP recipients using the Naive Bayes method. This method is applied to student data from the school's Dapodik in 2024 which consists of 265 students. The data is processed through CRISP-DM data mining stages, namely Business Understanding, Data Understanding, Data Preparation, Modeling, Evaluation, and Deployment. As a result, the Naive Bayes model showed an accuracy of 92.31% with a precision value for the “Yes” class of 89%, recall 100%, and F1-score 94%. In conclusion, variables such as means of transportation, KPS and KIP recipients, parents' income, and distance from home to school affect the eligibility of PIP recipients.
