Predictive Algorithm for Student Success
is an app that uses a predictive algorithm to determine student success for re-taking courses in high school.
Administrators are provided a percent recommendation that students would be successful in re-taking a course in regular programming.
​
Based on that percent success rate, a final decision is made in collaboration with teachers, student services and parents after being informed by the predictive algorithm.
