Abstract
Kompetisi dalam pendidikan menuntut sekolah swasta harus mampu bersaing dengan sekolah negeri karena mereka menjadi pilihan kedua. Sebagai pilihan kedua maka kebanyakan sekolah swasta tidak mampu menarik siswa-siswa unggulan dan berprestasi. Tujuan studi ini adalah mendeskripsikan usaha yang ditempuh SMA swasta sebagai pilihan kedua untuk berkompetisi dengan sekolah negeri agar dapat bertahan. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif grounded theory di 10 SMA swasta pilihan kedua di Kabupaten Banyumas. Kabupaten ini dipilih karena peningkatan jumlah sekolah swasta yang cukup tinggi. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil studi menunjukkan strategi yang dilakukan sekolah swasta pilihan kedua di antaranya, adalah melakukan promosi secara strategis ke SMP yang menjadi target potensial, memilih siswa tidak mampu, dan memiliki kemampuan akademik rendah sebagai sasaran utama, dan menawarkan biaya sekolah murah bahkan menawarkan sekolah gratis bagi siswa tidak mampu.
