Determine which factors you want to include in your class profile. Most colleges include a basic demographic that is made up of sex, race, GPA, and average test scores. If you are doing one for an elementary school or middle school you may consider using socioeconomic background, previous grades or test scores in addition to the typical sex and race factor.
Survey the students of the class. Have the students fill out the information themselves if they are old enough. This way you get what they feel their race and socioeconomic background is. However, you can also use the records that their parents filled out when they registered them for school. You should use school records to document grades, and test scores as well.
Tally the results of the survey. You may want to break down the results in more detail. For instance, list the demographics of the students who received As, Bs and so on. This also allows the results to become anonymous. The results can show trends and other areas that you need to focus on in your classroom or school district.
Write the results of the survey in a report. You can list the number of students who completed the survey, where you got the information (if it was not from a survey), as well as a few paragraphs that describe the things you found when you completed your class profile.
Create charts to show the results as well. This type of information is often easier to understand in chart form. You should include a chart or table for each piece of information you collected and the results.
