Let's say, we have this table:
STUDENT | START | END
1 |1998-1-1 |2001-1-1
2 |1999-1-1 |2001-1-1
3 |2000-1-1 |2004-1-1
4 |2000-1-1 | NULL
I'm trying to do is:
Count number of students between start and end dates!

Looks like you need to use a basic COUNT
aggregate:
SELECT COUNT(Student)
FROM YourTable
WHERE Start >= @Start
AND End <= @End
I've used >= and <= respectively around the start and end date fields. Feel free to change to > or < as needed. It was unclear from your question whether you wanted between a specific field or if you were checking for a range between those two fields.
Use the between Operator and COUNT aggregate function
SELECT COUNT(student) column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name
BETWEEN value1 AND value2
Between can be used with text so insert the dates where the values are,
