Academic Tracking at St. Ailbe’s School

At St. Ailbe’s, we want to help all students achieve their full potential and make the most out of their time at school. Each student has unique abilities, learning styles, and potential for growth. That is why we use the Athena Tracker.

The Athena Tracker is a data-driven tool used by schools to track and support student progress. The software helps teachers identify strengths, address areas for improvement and ensures that each student is given the opportunity to reach their own individual potential.

Using machine learning technology, the Athena Tracker analyses each student’s past results, academic performance and various other data. The software then pinpoints a student’s baseline potential for each subject. Teachers are then alerted when a pupil falls below their potential and may require additional support. The software also highlights when a student is performing above their potential, even if not achieving top grades.

Schools across Ireland are using the Athena Tracker to gain deeper insights into each student’s academic journey. This enables more tailored teaching strategies and helps identify students who might require assistance. At the opposite end, the software also highlights when a student may need greater challenges that will bring the very most out of them. By using the Athena Tracker, we are shining a light on every single student.
