By using a random sampling technique, the sample was 30 students of class X MIPA4 and X MIPA6. Data were collected through a writing test. The data were analyzed by using Sudijono’s formula to get the mean scores of the students' ability in writing descriptive text. The result shows that the students' ability in writing descriptive text is in average level with the mean score 63. The mean score of each aspect of writing is different. The highest mean score is on content (84). The other mean scores of the writing aspects are organizing ideas (61), grammar (55), and mechanic (52).
