As I said before, "students" in your example is a set of zcatalog results. 
Each result contains information about an object in the ZODB, but it
is not that object.  So for each result, you are de-referencing it
to get the original object. Each catalog result object only knows
about the metadata that the catalog is configured to index.

Another solution would be to reconfigure the catalog to keep track of
all the information you are interested in; this would make the
extraction run faster, at the expense of taking more time to update 
this catalog.

But since you are just extracting data from an application
that will be retired, that is probably not worth the effort.
