I see two major issues:

  • you compare the search term with "student.Name" (capital "N") but the property is "name" (little "n")
  • the function getStudentReport builds a "report" string, but does not return it.

There's a few other things you'll probably want to fix, but hopefully this will get you going again.

You might not go any further for this simple exercise, but some things that come to mind:

  • add more students to the database
  • make the program capable of reporting more than one student
  • make searches work no matter what case is used
