The development of information technology, particularly the internet, has brought significant changes in various fields, including education. Mestika Abadi School (Chong Ren School) in Medan still uses manual methods in managing academic data. This creates several obstacles such as time inefficiency, the risk of recording errors, and less than optimal communication between the school, students, and parents. This study aims to design and build a web-based school academic information system that can replace manual processes, using the Waterfall method in its software development. This method was chosen because it has clear and structured stages, including needs analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The results of this study indicate that the developed system is able to improve the efficiency of school academic administration.
