We moved a lot when I was a kid in the 70s. Most places seemed to have a 3-tiered system then: TAG (talented and gifted), the middle track, and the remedial track. In one state (CA) I'd be in the talented-and-gifted classes for pretty much every subject. Then we moved to TX and I was in the middle track for most subjects and even in a remedial track for some. We moved between the two states a couple of times as my dad would be transferred. I preferred CA because of the prestige, but then get to TX and find myself behind in certain subjects - it was kind of confusing.
