Student Performance Prediction System using Python Machine Learning (ML)

“Student Performance Prediction System ” is a web-based application that integrates machine learning with the Django framework. This project using machine learning and data analytics with help of this technique now it is possible to analyze large volumes of educational data and uncover patterns that can be used to forecast student performance more accurately. Predictive systems can assist educators in identifying students at risk of underperforming, enabling timely intervention and support. At the same time, such systems can help students monitor their academic progress, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and take corrective measures to improve outcomes. The system leverages Python libraries like NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, and matplotlib, integrated with Django for web development, to provide predictions in a user-friendly interface. It allows users to predict their performance in both numeric and graphical formats.

🛠️ Tech Stack Used

🌐 Frontend / Web Interface:

• Django (Python Web Framework) – Used to create the web interface for user input, displaying predictions, and managing data
• HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript – For rendering and styling web pages
• Bootstrap (optional) – For responsive UI components
• Django Templates – For dynamic web page rendering

🧠 Machine Learning / Backend Logic:

• scikit-learn – Machine Learning library used to implement algorithms like Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, KNN
• NumPy→ For numerical operations and matrix manipulation
• Pandas → For handling and preprocessing datasets
• joblib → To save and load the trained machine learning model
• django-widget-tweaks → django-widget-tweaks is a small but super useful Django package that helps you customise form fields in templates without changing the Python form class.

🗃️ Database:

• SQLite – Lightweight relational database used to store user data and predictions
• Django ORM (Object Relational Mapper) – Handles interaction between Django models and the SQLite database

⚙️ Tools & Environment:

• Python 3.x – Core programming language used
• PyCharm – IDE for development
• Virtualenv / pip – For managing dependencies

4. Prediction History Tracking
   1. Maintains a record of all past predictions for each student.
   1. Enables comparison between past forecasts and actual academic outcomes.
   1. Helps in monitoring improvement or decline in performance.
5. Role-Based Authentication
   1. Students can register, log in, and view/manage their own performance predictions.
   1. Administrators have access to manage courses, student profiles, and overall system usage.
   1. Secure authentication using Django’s built-in user management system.
6. Admin Panel
   1. Provides administrators with full control to manage students, courses, and prediction results.
   1. Includes tools to monitor activity logs and ensure transparency.
   1. Easy navigation with a user-friendly interface built using Bulma/Bootstrap.
7. Data Insights and Analytics
   1. Offers detailed reports and visual analytics on student performance.
   1. Identifies at-risk students early so that corrective action can be taken.
   1. Helps educators and institutions make data-driven decisions.

• Scalable and Extensible
  • Built with Django, ensuring modularity and scalability.
  • Machine learning models can be retrained with new datasets for improved accuracy.
