Linguistic diversity: Spanish speaking student with few words.  
Student getting one on one help with speaking words in English. They also get help with in class assignments and are tailored to them.

Racial or ethnic diversity: There are 5 students who are ethnically diverse. They are treated like everyone else.

Family structure: Some students are from broken homes.  Acknowledged and positive feedback when family structures were discussed.

Poverty: Some students are poverty.  They are treated like everyone else.

Exceptional students:  There are about 6-8 students who have some type of disability.  I seen them have one on one time with a Special Ed teacher. 

Gifted students: There is one to two students who are gifted.  I have not seen any special activities.
