This study aims to categorize the critical thinking skills of grade VIII junior high school students in Hulu Sungai Utara (HSU) Regency based on five critical thinking indicators according to Facione, namely interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, and explanation. The research method used was descriptive quantitative involving 78 students from three schools, namely MTsN 1, MTsN 2, and MTsN 5 HSU. The research instrument was in the form of multiple choice questions on respiratory system material based on critical thinking indicators that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results showed that students' critical thinking skills were generally in the very good category, with an average achievement value of 83.2%. Each critical thinking indicator showed variations in the level of achievement, but all were in the good to very good category. This categorization shows that students tend to excel more in certain indicators such as evaluation and explanation. Therefore, it is important for teachers to develop learning strategies that support the strengthening of critical thinking skills gradually and evenly across all indicators.
