Some basic questions.

Are you sharing the students folder?

Sounds like you are sharing the folder above the students folders but
not the students folder.
Try sharing the each student folders. Normally each student should
have full control of his/her home folder AND share, as should the
Admin. Folder names should be login names for uniqueness. You
don't need to share the above folder.

The profile path should be something like:
\\servername\studenthomesharename . Note there is no need for the
above folder in the path. That's one reason you have the share.

Hello,

I am the network admin at a small charter high school. I'm using a
Windows Server 2003 AD. I'm fairly new at this and have mostly taught
myself just what I need to to make things work here. I have an
intermittent problem that is mostly just an annoyance, but I would
like to know why it happens as it confuses the students.

Every student has their own network folder that I specify on their
user profile. Sometimes when they log in instead of showing their
folder, they get the shared folder that contains all the student
folders instead. Any ideas as to why this sometimes happens?

Thanks,
