Statistical reasoning is one of the focus of statistical learning at this time. Statistical reasoning is needed by students to understand the concept of statistics, to process information, and to draw conclusions both in statistical learning and in daily life. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach that aims to describe the level of statistical reasoning of high school students who have low mathematical abilities in solving statistics related problems in each statistical process, namely the process of describing data, the process of organizing and reducing data, the process of representing data, as well as the process of analyzing and interpreting data. The subjects in this study were two high school students of grade XII who had low mathematical abilities based on the math skills tests that had been given. The results showed that both subjects in the process of describing data successively reached level 2 (Verbal Reasoning) and level 4 (Procedural Reasoning). Meanwhile, in the process of organizing and reducing data and the process of representing data, the first and second subjects both reached level 1 (Idiosyncratic Reasoning), while in the process of analyzing and interpreting data, the first and second subjects both reached level 1 (Idiosyncratic Reasoning).
