Hi,

Question:
Should I say student performance or student's performance?

Sentence:

My aim was to improve student performance / student's performance.

Thanks

You can use either student performance or students' performance.

any difference between student performance and students' performance?

Not much- you could think of student performance as being general and student's performance relating to specific students.
