This research aims to evaluate the school energy and environmental conservation project at 2Ratchananthajarn Samsenwittayalai School. It consists of three aspects: 1) the congruence, suitability, readiness, and adequacy of the project's input/resources related to energy and environmental conservation in the school, 2) the appropriateness of the activities within the project, including identifying problems, obstacles, and problem-solving strategies, and 3) the outcomes of the project's implementation in terms of production and results. The research population includes school administrators, teachers in charge of the project, teachers, students, and parents. The data collection tools consist of interviews, questionnaires on energy and environmental conservation awareness, satisfaction with the project, and data recording forms. Data analysis involves frequency, percentage, and content analysis. The evaluation findings indicate that in terms of the project's input/resources, there is a high level of congruence, suitability, readiness, and adequacy, meeting the evaluation criteria for all three aspects.
