This work is aimed at developing a decision support system to improve the decision-making capacity of administrators of our case study (Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Unwana) and other parties. The system will help them to develop their administrative skill in decision making and resource management programs. The development framework is divided into three levels that employed Web-based application at the data collection level for collection of student statistics which is the primary data. Database application was used at the Processing level to provide administrative utility for data flow control and storage while the output level depends on a spreadsheet application for summary and advisory purpose. The research though not yet completely explored, its benefits will aid in the general management of the school system.
