Solution : Implemented Predictive Analytics to Identify At-Risk Students and Intervene Early
Overview
A community college partnered with FracsNet to implement predictive analytics aimed at improving student retention rates. The goal was to identify at-risk students early in their academic journey and provide tailored interventions to ensure their success.
The Challenge
The college faced several challenges in maintaining high retention rates: –
- High Dropout Rates : Many students were dropping out before completing their courses, leading to lower retention rates and missed opportunities for academic success.
- Lack of Early Intervention : The college lacked a systematic way to identify students who were struggling, making it difficult to provide timely support.
- Limited Resources for Support Services : Support services were often reactive rather than proactive, and there was a need for more targeted interventions.
- Difficulty in Predicting Success Factors : Without data-driven insights, it was challenging to predict which students were at risk and what interventions would be most effective.
The Solution
FracsNet implemented a predictive analytics system that focused on –
- At-Risk Student Identification : The system used historical data to predict which students were at risk of dropping out based on factors such as attendance, grades, and engagement levels.
- Early Alerts : Automated alerts were generated for faculty and staff when a student showed signs of being at risk, enabling early intervention.
- Tailored Support Services : Predictive analytics helped the college tailor support services to individual students, offering personalized academic counseling, tutoring, and mentoring.
- Data-Driven Decision Making : The system provided actionable insights that allowed the college to make informed decisions about resource allocation and student engagement strategies.
- Continuous Monitoring : The platform continuously monitored student progress, ensuring that interventions were adjusted based on real-time data.
The Result
The implementation of predictive analytics led to significant improvements in student retention and success –
- 20% Increase in Student Retention Rates : By identifying at-risk students early and providing timely interventions, the college saw a 20% increase in student retention rates.
- Improved Support Services : Tailored interventions and personalized support services helped students overcome challenges and stay engaged in their academic journey.
- Better Academic Outcomes : With proactive support, students were able to improve their academic performance, leading to higher graduation rates.
- Increased Student Satisfaction : Students felt more supported and connected to the college, leading to higher satisfaction levels and a stronger sense of community.
