But would optegnelse also cover record as in "the student's file" (e.g. in the headmaster's office)? To me the Danish sentence sounds as if the student made a record of something, while the English sentence would more likely suggest that the file is about the student.

Strictly speaking the danish sentence could be interpreted as both a record made by the pupil and a record about the pupil, but most danes would interpret that sentence as a record about the pupil. With those sentences you have to guess by context.
"Mandens bil"= the man's car.
"Mandens straffeattest"= the man's criminal record.
"Attest" is 'a written confirmation'.
