What are custom groups and how can I create them?

Only district level managers can create a custom group. School site managers can add and remove users to/from a custom group - but only users that are in their school group.
While teachers can create classes to group their students together, it can be be beneficial to create custom groups to view a larger set of students at the school level (ie. all the SpEd Students or Tier 2/Tier 3).
