AI-Powered Models That Predict and Support Student Success

From identifying college-ready students to flagging early risks, our machine learning models give educators the insights needed to act early, guide smarter, and improve outcomes across K–12 and higher education.

Why Use Machine Learning?

Our predictive models are built to:

  • Detect early signs of academic momentum

  • Assess alignment between coursework and a student’s intended path

  • Predict postsecondary readiness with precision

  • Identify transfer shock risks before students fall behind

  • Strengthen your enrollment predictions with richer data and deeper analysis

These insights help institutions intervene earlier, advise more strategically, to create a smoother student journey.

From readiness to retention, our predictive models help educators act earlier, plan smarter, and support student success at every step. Each model is designed to address a specific challenge in the student journey—offering actionable insights that drive better decisions in K–12 and higher education.

Retention Identifies students likely to stay or leave after their first year. Flags early risk factors to improve first-year retention. Higher-Ed Persistence Predicts whether students will continue beyond their second year. Views long-term engagement patterns to inform advising and program strategies. Higher-Ed Course Seat Enrollment Forecasts seat demand to support master schedule planning. Optimizes class offerings and reduces scheduling gaps using enrollment trends. Higher-Ed
Post-Secondary Readiness Predicts which students are prepared for college-level work. Expands Dual Enrollment access using transcript and 10th grade performance data. K-12 Transfer Readiness Shows how aligned students are with their target programs. Analyzes course pathways to predict program-fit at the university level. Higher-Ed Relevant Courses Recommends courses that increase college success. Matches students with high-impact courses aligned to their intended majors. Higher-Ed Transfer Shock Flags students at risk of early disruption post-transfer. Monitors critical first-term signals to help institutions intervene before it’s too late. Higher-Ed

How it works

From raw data to predictive insight—our machine learning models follow a proven path to deliver value.

Step 1: Unified Data Foundation

We begin by securely integrating student, academic, and local datasets—everything from transcripts and course history to attendance, test scores, and census or permit data.

Step 3: Validation + Training

Your team reviews the outputs, offering local context to refine model accuracy and scenario simulations. This ensures the results align with your goals and environment.

Step 2: Multi-Layered Machine Learning

Using ensemble machine learning models, we run simulations that detect patterns, surface momentum signals, and project student outcomes across key milestones—before they happen.

Step 4: Predictive Dashbards + Flags

We deliver intuitive dashboards that are available on a continuous basis which include student-level analytics, program alignment insights, and institution-level planning views—ready to inform decisions across advising, enrollment, and support services.

Smarter Course Sequencing Starts with AI

Our machine learning models don’t just flag risks—they help students build better paths forward.
By analyzing past course patterns from your institutions transcripts our models identify:

  • Synergistic Pairs – course combinations that improve performance

  • Reinforcing Sequences – the right order to take courses for mastery

  • Toxic Combinations – pairings that often lead to lower GPAs or retakes

These AI driven insights power better course scheduling and advising that provides insights to today’s students based on actual data and results from your institution.

Flexible Inputs. Tailored Insights.

Each model adapts to your data environment. Whether you want to include course transcripts, school choice history, building permits, or performance metrics, our team helps you align the right inputs for more applicable insights.
