Client : Community College

Industry : Education

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.
