There are schools that decouple learning from age (example: Khan Academy Lab School) but I haven't seen many public ones that pull it off.

Kids learn at uneven paces, so there is no perfect formula for how to split schools, but an imperfect split is still more efficient than boring the best.

In New York City they have a lot of G and T programs, but there it is more about lazybtrachers letting the kids teach themselves. At least it's a stronger peer group.
