Education Villange Lengkong Mandiri
You actually asked two questions:
Kampung Pendidikan Lengkong Mandiri -- here, Mandiri is not to be translated; it is a proper name. The translation is above.
.. di "kampoeng pendidikan mandiri" yang ... -- here KPM is a generic term, like "sekolah menengah pertama" which does not refer to a specific instance. For this, the correct translation could be "self-Reliance educational village".
I dont think independent is proper here. "mandiri" refers more to the ability to financially survive on its own (does not need governmental support).

Lengkong Mandiri edu-village center
It seems 'edu-village' is not a trademark, so I feel we can use this.

Lengkong educational community
An educational community is a collection of schools and related facilities, see example in wikipedia.
Kampong does not necessary refer to a rural village, there are also urban Kampongs, hence community rather than village.
Attempting to translate "Mandiri" within this context produces awkward results, at least so far. I suggest not translating it in the proper name, but make sure there is sufficient information in the context of the document to inform the reader that the community is self-governing and financially supported independent of the state.

: "Lengkong Mandiri" is a proper name, it can be googled. It should not be translated; so you have to include it: "Lengkong Mandiri edu-com"

Good point. Yes, in the case of the proper name (in example given, mandiri was in lower case), then it should be retained, as in Lengkong Mandiri educational community
