Abstract
This research aims to classify the academic performance of students who are successful and who have dropped out of school with high accuracy so that these matters can be addressed quickly. Things like this need fast handling to find out what factors influence it. In addition, this research was conducted to test how good the random forest algorithm is in classifying a problem. Random forest, which includes an algorithm that is commonly used for classifying a problem. By using the random forest algorithm, the accuracy results will be better than a single decision tree. This algorithm is quite good at handling and managing large datasets. From this study it can be concluded that this method can provide good prediction accuracy with a fairly high level of accuracy, namely 89%. Utilization of this random forest can be an alternative in classifying student academic achievement. This algorithm can work well in handling large datasets. This study discusses how the use of Random Forest can work to classify students' academic performance.
