I'm probably not the best to explain this. But this reminds me of something that's often illustrated here is kid who do the best at school, get good top grades are often NOT the most gifted. High Performing kids with straight A's are often kids with high-average IQ's and often don't even test in the gifted range. Many High gifted kids don't fit into school/class very well and their grades don't reflex their ability.
I think this is true for a significant subset of HG+ kids... although I also think it's probably not true in as large proportions as one would see here on public forums, simply because the parents of the HG+ kids who are sailing along smoothly probably aren't looking for answers online!
