This research aimed to harness the potential of the student's academic record to guide teaching practice to increase educational success. It is hypothesized that the analysis of the information contained in the academic record contributes to transforming the teaching / learning processes into four levels: descriptive (what happens); diagnosis (why it occurs), predictive (what can happen) and prescriptive (how it can be improved). It was a prospective study in which historical data were collected: mathematics subject from the academic record of a group of 15 students who have remained together for five school years, in a period from September 2014 to July of the year 2019. The results show that, in the first five years of study of mathematics, grades tend to decrease, and when a minimum rise is manifested, it is below the starting point. The low academic performance due to the difficulties for learning mathematics is linked to subsequent defections in the first cycles of the university, and constitutes a current problem of national and international scope, which share a considerable number of educational institutions.
