I went to my local elementary school, and two different flavors of magnets for middle and high school. There wasn't anyone who carried on with me through all years, although people from my past would very occasionally transfer into the next school. But really, we all started over again in 5th and 9th grades. We didn't seem to have a hierarchy so much as lateral groupings...mostly separate, but pretty much equal. (Of course, tiny classes might have helped...there were ~80 people in my middle school class (only seven of them boys, hee!) and ~120 in high school. More difficult to keep the distance required for hierarchies.)
