Early identification of at-risk students is a critical
challenge in modern education systems, where traditional evalu
ation methods often fail to capture the complexity of individual
learning behaviors. This paper presents Scholar Lens, a machine
learning-based early intervention model designed to analyze
diverse student data and accurately predict academic risk. The
system integrates demographic, behavioral, and educational fea
tures—including attendance, extracurricular activities, and self
study hours—to generate comprehensive student profiles. Using
the XGBoost algorithm optimized via Bayesian tuning, the model
achieves high predictive performance with interpretable results
using SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values for feature
importance analysis. The dataset comprises multiple attributes
across various subjects and student habits, enabling a granular
risk assessment. Results show the model’s effectiveness in iden
tifying students at potential risk, providing actionable insights
for educators and policymakers. Scholar Lens aims to enhance
decision-making in academic counseling by enabling timely, data
driven interventions, ultimately contributing to improved student
outcomes and institutional support strategies.
