I'm shocked! Shocked to find out that favoritism plays any part in amateur sporting events!

In most places, appropriate gifted education is not. Heck, graduating with a diploma or completing a GED isn't even absolutely required. All that compulsory education demands is attendance.

In our province, the age is 18, but exemptions are provided such that the attendance cutoff is the lower of age at completion of diploma or 18. What is to give light must endure burning.
