Were there any (big) cases that perhaps (directly) involved an entire school class, not uni students, as a witness of that case.
If so, what was the case(s) about. Do states have rights to involve an entire school class if they were able to provide valuable evidence, and I mean the entire class, not just a select few.

This is the first thing that came to mind. This probably doesn’t answer the question though.

You can’t just subpoena “Mrs. O’Leary’s 7th period Social Studies class.” You have to subpoena them individually. And if they all have the same testimony to offer, it would not be a good use of time to hear the same thing 30 times. They’d get a few of the most critical perspectives and be done.
Not a lawyer but I don’t see why you’d need the whole class. Just subpoena the ones with the most valuable testimony.
I would think that even if an entire school class witnessed something there wouldn’t be much need to call all of them to the stand as their testimonies would be rather redundant. They would probably just call the two or three most credible among them.
