Identifying Academically At-Risk Students using Predictive Analysis Model

This is like an early‑warning system for students: it looks at past grades, attendance, and other academic data to predict which students are likely to struggle, so staff can step in and help before they actually fail.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Universities and schools often only recognize struggling students after they fail exams or drop out. This predictive model flags students who are at risk academically in advance, allowing timely interventions that improve retention and success rates.

Value Drivers

Higher student retention and graduation ratesReduced cost of late or remedial interventionsBetter allocation of advising and tutoring resourcesImproved institutional performance metrics and rankingsData-driven insight into risk factors (courses, demographics, behaviors)

Strategic Moat

Proprietary combinations of institutional data (grades, demographic info, course history, engagement metrics) and tuned prediction thresholds that are tailored to a specific institution’s student population and academic policies.
