The purposes of this mixed-method research were (1) to study the current and desired states of management, (2) to analyze the external and internal environments, (3) to formulate balanced scorecard management strategies, and (4) to validate the strategies. The population consisted of 35 Phrapariyattidhamma Schools (General Education Division) in Education District 9. The respondents included 175 participants: 35 administrators and 140 teachers, selected purposively based on specified criteria. In addition, 35 administrators or teachers were selected as qualitative informants. The quantitative research instruments consisted of a questionnaire and a draft strategy evaluation form, while the qualitative research instruments included document analysis, workshops, and the TOWS Matrix. Data collection was conducted by the researcher. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, namely Frequency, Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation, and the Priority Need Index (PNI Modified). Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis.The findings revealed that: (1) the current state was rated at a high level, while the desired state was rated at the highest level; (2) the environmental analysis indicated that external factors were opportunities and internal factors were strengths, placing the strategic direction in the “Star” position; (3) four core strategies were identified, namely, improving student learning outcomes, promoting good governance, mobilizing funds and educational resources, and enhancing teacher and personnel development, supported by 35 sub-strategies; and (4) the strategy validation indicated that the core strategies were rated from high to highest levels, while all sub-strategies were rated at a high level. These results reflect that the strategies are appropriate and practically applicable. Future research should focus on implementing these strategies in practice and evaluating their outcomes.
