We had standard acceleration in my city in the 60s. And many in my neighborhood of professionals -- engineers and doctors, had kids that did. It wasn't uncommon. Everyone playded together and we went through school together.

But one of my friends commented after we were out of college that her mother would always comment about me and say that I was one really smart kid etc.

Now, I have no idea how the difference in standing out, but there must be a difference in some way with HG kids even when with other gifted kids. And not in the test score kind of way, just as Grinity says about observing her son, a kind of interaction that is innate.
