That depends on how you're trying to use the word. See the sentences below for examples:

1) I have 30 students in my class.

2) I have 30 students' books in my class.

3) I have this student's homework slip.

Sentence one has an S because it is indicating plurality.

Sentence two has an apostrophe after the S because it is indicating plurality and possession.

Sentence three has an apostrophe S because it is indicating singular possession.
