IMO, a lot of this lumping occurs due to two words: opportunity and motivation. Kids may fall under EG or PG depending on these factors.
Think of a PG child who is forced to stay with age peers, never given an opportunity to accelerate and does not have the motivation to teach themselves because they have given up fighting.
Good point, Crisc. This definitely applies to our situation, where our son is very self-motivated and is able to move through things at his own pace instead of the proscribed pace of a school's curriculum.
I know that some people have great experiences in schools, but by and large I see PG children in school being marginalized.
