Ms. Holsopple teaches a 5th grade classroom of 24 students for the 2014-2015 school year. The classroom theme is "Hollywood" to create an exciting learning environment. Students are arranged in pairs consisting of a higher and lower academic student. Most of the 24 students are Caucasian, with one being African American. Reading and math assessments show that around two-thirds of the students are performing at grade level, while small group instruction targets students below level. The entire school consists of 384 students from kindergarten through 5th grade, with most being Caucasian and from low-income families.
