Most schools do it at the high school and maybe jr. high level but I have never heard of this happening at the elementary level. We had separate math "groups" in elementary school but this was still within the same classroom and the more advanced group simply learned more about the concepts we were covering.

you're totally right -- I was talking about the jr. high and high school levels. Occasionally you'll see exceptions and some kids will be allowed up a grade or two in elementary, but it's not embedded in the process the way it is in jr. high and high school.
