Abstract
The primary objective of educational institutions is to ensure students receive a highquality
education. In modern times, a significant portion of their resources and efforts are
directed towards assessing student performance. Through thorough analysis, they can pinpoint
groups of students who may require additional support and interventions to improve their
academic outcomes. Recently, researchers have introduced various machine learning
techniques to forecast academic success. This study employs Linear Regression and Random
Forest algorithms to anticipate students' academic achievements. Evaluating the models using
metrics such as confusion matrix, accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score reveals that the
Random Forest algorithm outperforms others in predicting academic performance, as indicated
by the findings.
