%X Schools  which  are  located  in  a  strategic  and  safe  area  play  an important role in improving students’ performance and excellence. To ensure   both   success   and   long-term   sustainability   of   the   school planning,  the  finding  of  suitable  sites  for  school  is  important  and challenging. This  study  delves  into  a  site  selection  process  to establish  a  systematic  public  school. It  was  carried  out  through  the use   of   geographic   information   system   (GIS)   and   multi-criteria evaluation  model.  A  set  of  criteria  was  used  to  design  a  number  of potential  sites  using  a  spatial  analysis  model.  Mukim  Batu  which  is   located  in  Federal  Territory  of  Kuala  Lumpur  (WPKL)  has  been selected  as  the  study  area.  The  final  safety  model  outputs  were compared with the field verification data and found to be reliable.
