In this paper, we present our observation regarding the student’s computational thinking skill in the region of Sumatera Utara, Indonesia. The observation is based on the result of Bebras Indonesia 2019, a computer-based countrywide test on computational thinking aimed at students in primary school, middle school, and high school. We collected the data in a specific targeted region (the province of Sumatera Utara), collects additional data from the participant’s school, and analyse the data. Our objective is to find a pattern between the schools’ approach, if any, regarding topics related to computation thinking to the ability of students to actually solve the problem based on their score in the test.
