Hi John,
As Kate says 'les élèves français' ( meaning Fench pupils in general) is taken as a mixture of both masculine élèves and feminine élèves.
Please note that the noun élève can refer to a boy or a girl :
un élève brilliant
une élève brilliante
Bonne Continuation!

Because élèves can be solely masculine or could refer to a mixed class
