This data approach student achievement in secondary education of two Portuguese schools. The data attributes include student grades, demographic, social and school related features, and it was collected by using school reports and questionnaires. The dataset is provided regarding the performance in Mathematics. This experiment is based on the binary classification and the models used by Cortez, but now build with AzureML.
