That is what I am forced to do because of the size of my school. (k-12 ~470 kiddos) Usually what I end up doing is that I "shoot for the middle" in terms of difficulty. Something that will be slightly challenging for middle school/upper elementary, but slightly easier for high schoolers. (I actually pull kids as young as 5th grade into my band.) This seems to work out alright, but it has it's pitfalls. Your more talented students might get bored, so I offer an after school Jazz band where I play an instrument with them and the music is more challenging, for those students who need a little bit more.
I hope this helps!
