I don't know about today, but this was how it was when I was in high school around 1990 in the US. We had "basic", "college prep" and "honors/advanced placement" levels, plus some kind of level for the special-ed kids. However, it was only at the high school level (4 years just prior to college); before that, in the earlier grades, everyone was mostly lumped together.
