Clinical practice during psychology training is often performed in school clinics, with the identification of the characteristics of the clientele served being fundamental for improving the care. The aim of this study was to identify the profile of patients attended, in the modalities of children, adolescents, adults, couples and families, in a school clinic of psychology located in Rio Grande do Sul. An investigation of the profile of 667 medical records of children, adolescents, adults and couple and family patients treated between 2011 and 2017, was carried out, investigating sociodemographic data, type of initial assessment conducted, number of sessions, theory used, source of the referral, reason for seeking care, diagnostic hypothesis and reason for termination of the care. Specific characteristics of these variables were identified according to age and type of care. There was a significant number of medical records with incomplete data, making the data analysis difficult. Better control of medical record information would provide more detailed knowledge of the profile attended in school clinics.
