This research used a program evaluation of Scriven’s formative evaluation model with the qualitative approach. The research subjects comprised: (1) four elementary schools in Kulon Progo, i.e. SDN 4 Wates, SDN 6 Bendungan, SDN Kriyan, and SDN Selo, (2) elementary school’s superintendents of Wates and Kokap, and (3) the education department of Kulon Progo. This research used the qualitative data analysis from Miles &amp; Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and verification. The conclusions of this study are that: (1) the readiness of school for implementing character education is good, assessed from their curriculum integrated with character education, but still not good enough in terms of facility management, and the number of teachers in need of more knowledge and skills about character education; (2) the implementation of character education does not happen yet in the classroom learning activities; (3) the sample schools consider that the support from the government is insufficient especially for character education training; (4) the monitoring and evaluation of character education are still limited to the curriculum and done by the school’s superintendents; and (5) the constraints at character education are undocumented students’s behavior assessment, lack of teacher’s understanding to implement the character education, and there is no synergy between education at school and education at home.</p> <strong>Keywords</strong>: program evaluation, character education, elementary school<br />
